no there are no ipod adapters that play video to the Z1 you would have to use a ipod A/V kit in which one side of the wires are video i.e. red,yellow.white and the other end is an ipod port that plugs into the bottom of the ipod

iPod A/V cables connect to the headphone jack, not the base of the unit.

 

Example:

What I've done is this:

- connected the iPod connector module (CD-IB100II) and ran that cable to the center console (right near the cupholders)

- connected A/V extensions to the RCA outs on the back of the Z1. Ran these to the glove box so now those A/V ports are easily accessible (stll have the same female connection).

 

So....

- when I want audio, I connect to the iPod module and have on-screen display of the songs + on-screen control

- when I want video, I connect to the RCA outs via a cheap iPod A/V cable (the headphone port to A/V RCA's).

 

 

Another benefit of keeping the RCA's accessible is that non-iPods can be connected to the Z1 easily and listened to. Great for car trips, etc.
