iPod Video hook up to Prius

I would imagine it would behave much like the iPod nano, which has been tested with the VAIS 100i. It worked, so the new iPod should work as well.

 

what worked on the vais with the ipod nano? pictures?

 

For music, but Tigerops wants to play the video on the MFD. Will that work witht he AIC? If it does, that would be great.

 

Then no. Pretty sure there's no chance it will play video to the MFD. No chance.

The VAIS interfaces with the stereo system as a MD player. That gives you text, but by it's very nature, no pics, no video.

 

Ahh yes, that's right. I'll have to agree that the AIC would then NOT work for any sort of video from the iPod. Oh well. I guess I won't get to watch moves while I'm driving... :blink:

 

Not gonna happen. There are several ways to get the video off the IPOD to display on the MFD, but you won't have control over the IPOD natively.

 

You want the VAIS AVIC-100i. It's got the iPod controls of the AIC-100i with an uncontrolled audio/video input and a dedicated rearview camera input. Connect the dock connector to the iPod input on the adapter and use this cable to connect the A/V out from the iPod to the A/V input on the adapter.

Only catch is that it's $609, and there are no group buy discounts because it's such a specialized item.

 

But you would still have to choose between the iPod control screen and the video output...

 

I was thinking the same thing. So you switch modes when you want to watch video or slide shows and the audio goes through RCA from the top of the iPod. Then switch back to the iPod controls mode with digital audio and MFD song text using the pin connector at the bottom of the iPod. I guess the reverse cam will automaticly interupt everything (except audio) when in reverse.

 

Yeah, but that shouldn't be a big deal. You don't need to control the video while you're driving, RIGHT?

 

Yeah, no control when watching video or slideshows.

 

the MFD's resolution is not good enough to display photos

 

This is what it would look like:

 

I have a video interface that will do that. The G-NET NavVideo I have for sale has two video inputs and leaves your CD-Changer port free, so you can have your iPod connected there. I just posted it here, if you are interested:

But you'd still need an adapter to plug your iPod into the CD Changer port, and the only one that works (and controls the iPod) is the AIC-100i. Get the AVIC-100i and you'll have everything in one adapter.

 

Yes. I have heard people have a good experience with that product as well.

The G-NET works well and let's people with the iPod2Car or AUX2Car or existing CD-Changer have a video input for other purposes like a carputer, DVD, or backup camera.
