RCA Jacks in Center Console (Canucks, here's a question for you!)
From what another member posted on here of the '07 G35 center console, there are a trio of RCA jacks in the compartment under the armrest, presumably as some sort of AUX input - what is the functionality of these, especially the video aspect of them? Someone mind playing around a bit?
I'm psyched to see an AUX come standard though at least for audio (though who really needs it with a CF slot and the ripping HDD!) - some cars it's a $700 dealer-installed part!

I am going to be ordering the '07 sport (manual) with no options so it should come in around 31,750$ if I can get 500 bucks off.
the point (for me) of using my iPod Video with the RCA's (assuming I can) would be so I can watch episodes of the office in my car while waiting for my next class (imma full time student) to start or if I got nothin to do on my lunch break at work

Also, the AUX ports come standard.

I'll also leave 6 MP3 CDs in the trunk. That'll give me another 4.2GBs. I think I'll be okay... for now.

Aww crap -- you can't use the CF card to copy MP3s over to the HD ?!?
I had always thought that it was possible -- don't know when this changed !! -- arghhhh
So the only way to get MP3s to the HD is by ripping a audio cd in the car ? That would be slow .....
