Thanks !

I'm not sure how GCCS have connected the two inputs. The Rev Camera works on the Aux input and so does the iPod/iPhone connector. Although if your listening to some Music on the iPod and you start to Reverse the Camera shows on the screen but it dosnt cut the music (hope that makes sense).

There is no Standard iPod connector in Aus spec cars. Yes we have the AV Inputs for various type players, but no control ability. Also to answer CJ's ? below as well (sry mate for not ans' earlier), at this stage i haven't been able to control it through the steering wheel.

I havnt had a chance to see George at GCCS to see if there is some kind of work around on this. The US Spec cars as far as i know have FULL control over their iPods.

Now for showing Data on the screen, it dosnt show track info. There has to be a way around this. You have full Video playback on the screen, so maybe it's something to do with the Connector i'm using. I have only used my iPhone 16gig 3G and iPod 80gig 5.5gen.

It sounds like the only additional functionality that you get from hard wiring the Ipod connection is that it charges the Ipod.

I have a a chord that plugs into the base of my Ipod and at the other end has the red, white and yellow AV cables and seems to have the same functionality as the GCCS hard wired set up other than charging the Ipod. The chord only cost $30 though !

I would only really be interested in hard wiring if there is a work around to be able to control the ipod from dash / steering wheel controls.

The reverse camera still sounds worthwhile though. Will get a price for just reverse camera from slacks creek on Monday.

Thanks for the info.

I will try and find out some info on attaining play list control functionality and let you know what I find out.
