Thanks.... I have a feeling that the next version will have a side-mount dock connector as well, which would make my install easier...... I'm just an inpatient sob!

Easy. I got the dock cable from apple store that has a set of audio/video RCA's along with a USB for charging. I hooked the audio-outs into the Audiocontrol 3.1, which splits to Front/Rear/Sub. I took the video out to a video splitter box, which splits signal out to the 2 headrest monitors. The power is picked up in a cigarette lighter in the console, using Belkin's Ipad charger.

The install will not work to my full desires until the jailbreak for OS4 is out. This will allow for better video and audio distribution options, and hopefully a bluetooth remote control.

Real nice. Wish I had the ability (and the balls) to rip things apart and DIY. Looking forward to the final product.
