Ipod video?

I have an clarion vdx touch screen radio.I just jumped on a 30g video Ipod Which holds 7500 songs and 14hrs of video.

I was wondering if I can plug this ipod into the Aux of the radio and play the vids on the screen?

I cant wait, no more cd clutter in my car

Yeah, that should work I think. I have no idea what the aspect ratio is on the video output. If I follow you correctly, all you're looking for is a composite video output, correct? Here's my first result from google.

?? Since when did I say our cars have tvs in them? I SAID it's like hooking your iPod to your TV (the most logical reference would have been to the tv one has at home, no?)

I don't know why it wouldn't work... It's just a composit video output, and his head unit has a screen with a composit video input. Seems pretty straight-forward to me.

benzmodz, we're not talking about an OEM unit. this is an aftermarket head unit.

I do it all the time. I use the iTrip, put the correct station on the radio & go to my video options & just hit play. I do this on a regular bases.
