Though currently doc exnteders cables can not play videos, at least from what i've found. i would also need to find an IR extender/repeater for the remote control since it is not RF.

I was really close to doing this, but then i found out that the remote can only access the audio menus and not the video menu. You can play the videos, but you would need to use the ipod instead of the remote control, and you would have to have the ipod docked as well. Grrrrr

From what i hear, accessing the video menu via the remote control is not yet possible with any 3rd party applications. ipod needs to release an update that gives 3rd party companies the ability to do this.

I cant believe that ipod hasnt created a car kit that would give us the ability to navigate our ipod from a monitor. And if they did, they probably still wouldnt give us the ability to play videos since its would be considered "unsafe."

I'm going to give up on this project for now. If i do it, i want it to look good, not cheezy!

Good luck!
What says that you can't use your remote to control the videos? I've been using a cheesy 3rd party video dock right now and it's working fine. Don't give up this project man.
