Hey everyone, jailbroke my ipad so i can output GPS to my G37's screen. Just really testing it out until someone releases a jailbreak for the iPhone4. Ipad is way too bulky to lug around....

This is a very handy vid since i do not have gps functionality in my car. you mind sharing how you got this to work? cheers

I did one thing that is unmentionable on the forum to get this to work. Besides that one detail, all the other instructions related to getting video from your iphone/ipad to the screen can be found here:

Once you buy the wire from apple, all you need to do is jailbreak your ipad/iphone, pay $1.99 for the displayout program through Cydia and you're set. A very easy mod imho....

So I've done that "unmentionable" thing on mine already. I bought a generic AV cable from eBay and it will display on the screen but it will black out in a few minutes. My brother said I'd have to buy a "chipped" AV cable for this to work properly? Would that be the same as the apple AV composite cables?

cdebnil

Yeah, that is the problem. Get the OEM one directly from apple. I bought mine from Amazon to avoid tax....

But won't it go blank once you start driving? Buying the cable just isn't enough I would say. Unless you guys did the whatever bypass on your car lol. And I think it's perfectly fine to discuss those if you're only doing that mod for your GPS to work.

cdebnil

Haha, yeah....did the unmentionable mod to get the GPS to work....

shoot! as long as you use it strictly for GPS pretty sure you won't be flamed or beat by the BANHAMMER hahahaha.

Thanks, borrowed cables from a friend and it worked like a charm.

Placing my order now.

Now I need the same iPod/iPhone mount as yours.

Just an fyi bro, the jailbreak for the iPhone 4 dropped a couple of days ago! And it's HELLA easy! And thanks for this post, I'm gonna have to try this out on my iPhone 4 now, but for some reason, I can't get the GPS/Maps apps to work...wonder if it has to deal with ios 4.

Can this be done with another type of phone like a Droid Incredible?

cdebnil

just did it with my iphone 4. works great w displayout!

other poster with the droid:
i don't know anything about android phones...i'd check some of the droid specific forums to see if its possible to output video

What GPS app are you using with the iPhone 4? Tom Tom didn't want to work for me!
