My apologies if this is answered elsewhere on the forum...

I would like to display the iPod display on my Navigation screen to see album art, see which track titles, etc. My navigation screen has an RCA video cable in, but I can't find a car solution that will let me do this (perhaps like a DLO HomeDock Deluxe for the car). I drive a Range Rover Sport and there doesn't seem to be any car solutions for that car yet and I don't want to mount a secondary display (like HK's Drive+Play) on my dash.

I was thinking about using an iJet BottomDock to remote control the iPod with a Belkin charger. So my last step is to display what I'm listening to on the Nav Screen. Any ideas?

I have this and love it. The only thing i could find to display everything you want except album art. The only bad thing as of now is it wont let you play videos that play on the ipod you must convert it to another format (they are supposed to be coming out with a firmware upgrade for this and the album art soon) but for 120 bucks its great and way better than any headunit display and cheaper. The only thing i recommend if you don get it don't run the volume through the box they give you do it through the headphone jack or it will sound like shiat! Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Sexy350zstud03 - Thanks for the suggestion. One question about the remote... since it is IR, does it need to have line of sight with the base unit? Also, is there an online manual somewhere? I couldn't find it on their website.

Disregard my second question. Found the manual in another post.

Thats cool like i said i absolutly love it and don't understand why more ppl arent going to this option. It's way cheaper and better than a headunit and better and cleaner looking than using your ipod the only option i c better is using a 1000 dollar double din touch screen headunit.

Sexy350zstud03 - Back to my original question about the remote... since it is IR, does it need to have line of sight with the base unit?

they give you a little extension ir reciever its really tiny like the size of your pinky nail and a half cent. thick. Its really small and can be mounted anywhere.
