iphone video to command?

i know you need the euro command to play dvds because the lack of hardware in the NA models. but the main hardware for video is there, which is the screen. is there a way to get you iphone video on that screen. would be a great upgrade especially if you have netflix.

Here's one way..

You'll have to open up the radio though. Ive been toying around with this idea, not because of video - but because of trying to find options to replace the navigation, or output a pc into the factory screen.. Still havent done anything though.

In any case, you will need to dock your iphone to an iphone cable with composite out (the yellow jack), then route the composite video to the device above's video in. Then you will just need to route the audio to the norma aux.

It's not seamless, but it will do what you are looking for.

Maybe ask the Cartronics.com guys if they have a better, more seamless solution...

We do have the Video In Motion module, that can be easily hooked to the COMAND and Aux-input and give you 3 inputs (one normally reserved for reverse camera)
