iPOD Audio and Video Thru NAV system?

[kenpappas]

I have a nice iPOD that does music and video and wanted to know if I can play BOTH my music and watch movies using the 16:9 NAV screen and sound system. ALso can I use the controls on my steering wheel to change the songs?
Thanks,
Ken

After reading a number of threaded discussions on this forum, I installed an Intravee. It is not a cheap solution since the Intravee II, also requires an Alpine unit attached to the CD Changer cables. But, I am very happy with the results. You are able to control your iPod from the NAV screen and/or the steering wheel. I purchased the Intravee on Bimmernav.com ($250) and the Alpine KCA-420i on ebay ($100). There are some limitations that can be annoying for some. 1. The iPod goes to sleep. 2. There is a limitation on the number of Artists you can browse.

Will this also play my movies?

Unfortunately, not for movies.
