iPod AV Cable

It may work for other iPod models for Audio but don't hold me to that. They've taken a normal A/V cable and changed the colours of the plugs around so that if you plugged in an ordinary cable, video would come from say the Red plug, whilst audio from the yellow and white.

It would work with the iPod (with colour display) just as it works with the iPod (with video).

 

personally i just bought a normal camcorder AV cable and use that. it works fine on the iPod Video. as mentioned above all Apple did was change the outs. Video comes through white or red (cant remember) instead of yellow...etc

 

what made me confused was the new Nano lets you do the same trick with the cables red white and yellow trick with just the firmware disabled so no video out to tv - but i'm sure it would work if apple enabled it in the firmware

 

that's what i did, i think apple sends the video down one of the audio outputs so you won't be able to use the apple AV cable with a normal Hi-Fi when not using the video bit, (though i haven't tried it with my 3rd party cable for ages so may be wrong, all I know is that my third party cable was a lot cheaper.)

They send it the video down the red output on my standard video cable.
