Hi all,

On the toys in you car web site. There is nav tv iPod dock that lets you watch film from you iPod.
If I have this do I need an intravee as well to get iPod control. Or can I just use this.
I have the 16.9 sat nav tv with free view.
Cheers

Got any more specific details of what you have looked at.

No doubt getting anything to the front OEM screen will involve the cable that attaches inline to the tv module in the boot.

Sanj is on the case lol

Promised I'd help...

This is the module I was talking about.
But it doesnt say if I need an intravee




The Nav TV VehicleDock is a universal iPod docking station that can be connected to any screen in your car providing there is a free A/V input. (NB: So this can connect to one of the many AV Input Leads we sell for various vehicles! Buy a TV In Motion lead as well and your passengers can watch a video from your iPod while the vehicle is moving!!)

The system is a hideaway unit controlled by a remote control (or connected to the OEM screen). Users will be familiar with the iPod-like music selection of song, artist, playlist, album or genre. However this has a unique feature that will allow you to browse the video menu on screen, then play your video selection on your in-car screen without having to fumble with the iPod. Users can select an iPod photo image slideshow or album artwork, as music is being played. You can watch videos, listen to music, podcasts and even audio books. The unit can be switched between NTSC and PAL. It also has an S-video output.

The unit is controlled using the (provided) 18 button infrared remote control. It also comes with a remote 'red eye' on a long wire so you can hide the VehicleDock away, for example in the boot of the vehicle.

Features:

> Charges iPod
> Connects to any A/V Input - has standard RCA/Phono sockets AND an S-Video Out socket
> Plays music & movies
> Easy to navigate menus
> Create playlists whilst you listen
> Comes with the lead to connect to iPod.

PLEASE NOTE: This device requires a live (constant - from the vehicle battery) feed, a switched live (only powered when vehicle ignition is on) and an earth. IF IN DOUBT we recommend having this device professionally installed.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE: The device does NOT come with any RCA/Phono or S-Video leads. You will need to purchase these separately once you know which Output you will be using and what length you need.

No it will work without an Intravee. Just note control is through the remote provided and not OEM buttons on the car.

Oh right so no steering wheel control.
Mmm will have to have a think about it. Maybe an intravee is better for what I want.

Cheers for your help.
