hey guys,

i have an '07 G35 with the AUX inputs.

i've hooked up my old iPhone 3g with composite cables. these are not the original apple cables, just regular composite cables that connect to the iphone through the earphone jack.

i'm able to get audio but haven't had a chance to try the video yet. does anyone know if the video will work with these cables? also, does my iphone need to be jailbroken for the video to work (regardless of cable)?

one more question. is there any way that i can get the song/album/artist info to show on my screen?

 

Not sure about the Iphone, but I couldn't get video to play using my Droid.

 

Keep in mind that video only works if your parking brake is on, (unless a workaround is used that you we can't discuss on this forum).

 

I've tried it and video does not play from the regular cables

 

The earphone jack will not provide video... you would need the cable that goes from the dock slot on the bottom of the phone to the RCA Audio (Red/White) and Video (Yellow) jacks.
Car must be in Park with the parking brake on for video to display.

There is no on-screen track info in the 07... that came in 08 with the iPod integration

 

thanks for the clarification!

i'm wondering, the on-screen display should work if i'm able to play video. i guess i would just need an app on my iphone that will output the display info when the songs are playing. anyone know of an app that will do this?

it would be nice to be able to play music with the song info & album cover on the screen while i'm driving

 

so pissed bout that

 

^^ WHS makes me really want to trade mine in and get a newer one, cept I put a lot of time in my current model...dont think you are able to do it with an iphone app OP and you need a video out cable made for the display.

 

You would need a composite to iDevice sync port, because a 3.5mm will NOT carry a video signal. You need to force video/audio out of your iPhone by Jailbreaking it and downloading the app called TVOutTuner. If you want to have video while driving then you need to do the video bypass mod that we can't discuss here.

 

+1 - this is the setup you want. I have jb'ed my iphone and running tvoutTunner. works well. I'll be doing the mod we can't discuss here this spring...

 

great news! is there a tutorial on how to do the video bypass mod?
