-ppl have played Ipod videos on their screens
-does your HU have a sound input RCA? (that'd be the easiest way to connect your ipod)

yep. you could either do:
-headphone jack (Ipod) to RCA (HU)
-ipod connector (long slot connector on bottom of ipod) to RCA(HU)

*you won't be able to control the ipod through your HU, if you want to do that, you'll need special hardware.

if you have an auxillary in, that one would work too. Usuually aux in is powered, so you can charge ur ipod. If not, some kits come w/ a wire to charge it w/, and just connect it to a +12V constant power from the dash somewhere. With some newer HU, you NEED aux input to control the ipod from the HU.
