Do I need to buy that special iPOD adapter cable for the video to work?? my 4th gen 30GB iPOD worked with the video, but I just recently bought a new 5th Gen 120GB classic and it does not play video, just audio.
2. I have in my truck the JBL system from the factory. when the guy installed my unit and I started playing my music from my iPOD, i have noticed my music sounds like it is being compressed or sound is being limited or something to that fact. Like certain parts of songs get louder but my system seems to compress it so it does get loud and etc... any suggestions what may be wrong. my install guy used a harness to make the unit work with my existing JBL setup. Is it my JBL in th truck casuing this or the head unit?? Those are my 2 main problems that really bug me!
I hope I gave enough info on my problems... I hope I dont have a bad head unit. I am guessing its the JBL system doing the compression, and my ipod is set to off for that sound limit volume control thingy. I just may need to upgrade my entire system with a new amp right??
thanks in advance

You absolutely MUST use the iPod cable from eclipse to play video from your iPod.
I have the JBL in my 08 and I used the Scosche adapter for the JBL stereo and it works fine.
I will say some of the songs on my iPod will sound quieter and louder depending on how I put them on iTunes. If it came from a CD then it sounds great. If I downloaded a crappy copy then it sounds crappy. You can also change the SVC level on the head unit which will increase the level for just the iPod mode.
If you are in iPod mode, press the AV button then touch 'sound" in purpe on the screen and you will see at the bottom left of the screen the "SVC" or "SCV", one of the two, I don't remember exactly, but you can adjust this + and it will adjust the output volume for just this mode.
The iPod cable may also completely remove this issue as well. Get that cable first and then try anything else. That's what i would do.
