Thanks everyone. I'm sick of black cars, but the second I saw a black one on the lot when I went for my test drive I was sold on black again.
The video is being displayed using my iPod. I am using headphone to Composite Cables designed for the iPod sold at all major stores (i.e. Best Buy). To charge the iPod I am using the Belkin Auto Kit. Now the Belkin Auto Kit has a headphone in port and then you can connect using just the dock connection to play and charge, but this does not support the video, just audio.
The video only plays when the e-brake is pulled up and I don't have any plans to find a work around for that as it would probably lead to me having a car accident.
Some pictures for you of the setup:

Sound quality from the iPod is perfect, but I actually sort of prefer using MP3 CDs so far anyway.
In my Audi I had my iPod hardwired and did not have MP3 CDs so it was a must to use the iPod, but now I sort of like having the MP3 CDs so I can control it through the steering wheel and see the artist/song info on the screen.

Video wise it was great. I've been enjoying the car too much to load videos onto my iPod and play around with it more, but it's a cool feature. It's perfect if you're ever sitting in the car waiting for a few and want to watch something to keep you busy!
