IPOD Video to Command Screen?
Has anyone been able to hook up their IPOD Video to play on their NAV Screen? I already have the IPOD audio mod, but I carry some of my favorite TV shows on my Video IPOD and I would like to watch them while I wait in my car.

You will need to swap your US spec COMAND for a Euro spec COMAND. While I believe they have video inputs, I'm not certain that the iPOD integration kit works with Euro spec (anyone?). If you want to watch at times other than "waiting" in the car then you will have to hack into it and reprogram the Euro COMAND to allow video while in motion unless you want to connect an external monitor. Of course, if you go through all of that trouble, you could just connect the MB TV Tuner to the Euro spec COMAND and watch your shows during the broadcast.
While it's none of my business, I was wondering what you're waiting for in your car long enough to be able to watch a tv show?

Convert your Ipod videos to MPEG (there are a number of utilities out there)
Then burn them to DVD
