you need to do the 12volt into the satnav unit or you will have to select reverse and have your reverse lights on while watching a video. all you need is a simple switch and 1 diode, i used 2 diodes, oh and a fuse.

Yep its all soldered. I'll do the reverse mod another day, I was running out of time and wanted to get the car back together before it got dark, anyway looks like I need to take the dash apart again to find the grounding problem,
I did not go for the iPhone as i did not want to pay £35 a month as im as PAYG customer and must only spend about £50 a year, plus I did not think the iPhone allowed video out like the Touch does.
As for cables the latest iPods pin layout at the dock is different apparently for the video out, which at the moment forces you to buy Apple cables!
