I used the Apple TV connector and plugged the three cables into the socket behind the ash tray. I plugged the USB cable into a cigarette lighter adaptor and it provides power to charge the iphone or the ipod.

It was simple and it works perfectly.

you have the MR...on the GSR there are only 2 sockets for audio and no video out. Also do you control the iphone on the Navi?

I have the MR with Navi... and I have no sockets at all.

But no, you don't control anything coming in off the AUX with the Navi. It's just a line out.

I thought it didn't come on any US models...

Looking at it from a technical perspective you would need to use the video out on the ipod/iphone (the dock connector) and somehow use a connection like this:

My only guess would be to possibly splice the video out from the above cable into the back of the nav unit. I'm not sure if this would work but I don't want to waste the $60 to try it. Even if it does display video through aux, the touch screen MMCS would in no way have the capability of controlling the ipod/iphone. Also I do not think video is supported while driving in auxiliary (I know there is a hack for DVDs though).
