ipod video not showing up on screen of Eclipse avn5435

just1time · #1 (**permalink**) 06-12-2008, 11:05 PM

i got this cable in hopes of being able to hook it up through the VTR of my eclipse avn5435 and watch videos but it doesn't.
i tried it with my Tv in the house and it works (even though i couldb't listen to regular music through my playlist), i was able to watch and listen to videos on the tv.
i took it to my car and plugged it into my eclispe but nothing.
i haven't hooked up the speakers in my car so i cannot tell whether or not any audio is coming out. but shouldn't the video show up on the eclipse screen even so.
someone who has used this should please advise. is there some setting i need to enable on the eclipse?
please advise.
thanks

I have the exact same Eclipse.I also have the Zen W media player and it plays perfectly.No, nothing special you have to do just connect it in the back of the unit and press VTR.Thats it!!
