good work on all the bypass tutorials. just did it and works amazing. I've been wanting to play my iPod videos on my iPod Touch. When I start hit video on the ipod section its a black screen with the control buttons and the "use ipod for full operation" bs. The video plays on the ipod and the sound comes through my speakers, but i cant get it to show on the d3 screen. i read about setting the ipod to output to a different source and tried a couple of things and no luck. any ideas or anyone with a fix for the same problem?

iPod Touch on the d3 video

well i just found more info. seems apple like always blocked aftermarket products (d3) from outputting video. the only way i see my d3 playing videos from iPod Touch would be the retarded $49 video cable from apple connected to the video jax in the wiring harness. any input would be greatly appreciated :twisted:

Apple did change the spec for video output on the touch but your issue is more of a D3 incompatibility due to the fact that it was speced to be compatible to ipods developed before the touch. This is not a problem with the current F series units. The Apple cable is the only option for the touch with a D3.

Funny that this topic is fresh....I was just on the phone with Crutchfield about this very issue. Luckily I noticed this issue on the CF website before buying the CD-i200 cable.

 

The CD-i200 and the AVIC D3 together, will NOT....NOT....show video images from the iPod touch on the D3 video monitor.

 

I just so happen to have the $49 dollar apple cable discussed earlier in this thread and I will use it for the D3. I will connect it to the A/V inputs for AV-1 on the D3.

 

However, that leads me to another question. Since the inputs will be to AV-1, the interface with the iPod touch is the basic apple connector at the bottom of the ipod. This is also where the CD-i200 shoudl plug into the iPod. So in order to watch a video, I have to disconnect the CD-i200 and then connect the Apple AV cable (going to AV-1)?

 

Thats just silly....but I guess I will do it if I have to since I dont see myself watching videos from the iPod often.

 

Anyone with both a D3 AND the iPod Touch found a better way to do this mod?

 

Thanks!!
