iPhone 4G question

Hi, sorry for maybe stupid question Anyway how could I stream video from iphone 4 to my 09G37x coupe? I have plug to connect ipod but I can't see video it is only works for sound. I am OK if it is only going to work on parking brake, that is what I need for now. Do I need another cable?

iPod adapter with RCA plugs connected to the RCA plugs in the car. Apple makes one. I think 09s have RCA plugs?

The new composite AV cable the Kidcane posted a picture of is what you need. But there are a couple of caveats.

First, the video only works when you're parked (as you thought).

Next, the 2009 doesn't have a USB port so your iPhone/iPod will be running on battery the whole time. You will probably want something like this:

USB Car Charger

Then the USB connector on the AV cable will plug in to it and voila'.

In theory, at least.
