Iphone 3d GoogleMaps on the car's screen?

Hi, either my forum searching skills suck (quite possible) or this hasn't been answered before, so here goes:

Can you use your Iphone's GPS Google Maps feature while driving with Iphone hooked up to the car and see the driving directions on the car's center lcd?

I'm getting my G37s to Europe from US so there might be a problem to get local maps for the in-car navi unit...

I took a more direct approach. Leaves no mystery or wonder.

Yes you could...by use of the AUX RCA plugs.

You can get an Apple accessory which allows you to do Video-Out from your iPhone/iPod.

Nice try, but no cigar. AUX Video mode doesn't work in the G while moving.

Unless you... Well we won't get into that discussion here.
