I plugged in the ipod touch and it behaves exactly like the the iPhone 4S. I have a 3rd generation Ipod touch (the one with the old body style). I have no reason why later generations would not work, since we have established that iPhone 4 and 4s works.

I have attached some pics comparing the interfaces, in case anyone was interested. The last two pics are using just the white cable into the USB port.

I did misspeak earlier. Video does not work perfectly. When I play a video I can hear sound and a still picture shows up on the screen, but no video.
It is not the cable's fault, as it behaves the same whether attached to the cable or if it is in the snap in adapter.
I wonder if I am doing something incorrectly? Does anyone have any ideas?

In short, the above cable behaves exactly as the snap in adapter does on both the iPod Touch and the iPhone.

It does NOT work with the iPad.
It doesn't do video.

Since it's not my car, I am also ignoring it until the weather is nicer (although, in reality, this winter is giving me little excuse.)

The pry bar thing was hyperbole - mostly.

I tried this tonight. Video DOES work, but not while the vehicle is in motion. Video initially starts out small-screen, then switches to full screen after a few seconds. The video went away and switched to audio-only when I put my X3 in gear.

Interesting, so we can get video when stationary. Cool deal! I'd thought that was limited to the DVD here in the States.
