Please choose the appropriate forum for this topic. Thank you. Chances are this certain car charger/video-out combo I'm looking for doesn't exist, but it's worth a shot asking. I'm basically looking for something exactly like this:

It has a car charger and a line-out (gold ring on bottom right) right from the dock connector. The only problem is that it's only an audio line-out, and doesn't include the third ring on the 3.5mm input for the A/V-out. Does something like this exist yet? If not, what about an iPod A/V cable that connects to the dock connector at the bottom of the iPod instead of through the headphone port at the top? It looks really bad having cables coming from the top of my iPod the way I have it set up in my car right now. I'd really appreciate any help... Thanks!

I've been looking around for this as well and as far I can tell no one has it. It seems like it would be a pretty simple modification if you had the know how and the tools to do so. You could make your own if you have a break down of the pin assignments on the dock port but it would take some careful soldering.

I'm still surprised no one has made the ipod headunit as well. A headunit made just for ipods. Throw in the standard AM/FM radio and I'd buy one.

Wow. Cool. I ended up buying 5 bare dock connectors and was planning to make my own...but the connectors are white and I really wanted it to look professional. I have a black ipod w/ red iskin Evo 3. I will probably by one of these instead of making my own now. Thanks!
