External video on I-Drive display?

I have an '08 E90 with I-drive and Logic 7. I'd like to be able to run video from an external source (i.e. iPod/iPhone or maybe a DVD player) through the existing display. I have no idea where to begin. Any links, references, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you look at ebay, there any many kits which allow you.
Most of them use the aux-in for the audio signals input.

Yeah, as of now, from a cost perspective, I'm looking at the Xcarlink version, but haven't totally ruled out the eBay generic.

I've also made some headway on other parts too. I plan to dedicate an old iPod video that will live in either the glovebox or the center console (for ease if access). I'll connect it to the AV-in with an iPod to Composite cable and run the USB into a 12v to 5v Converter that draws its power from a fuse tap. As far was which fuse to tap, I'm still figuring it out. I have my V1 hardwired too, so obviously I can't use the same fuse.

My last question, for the audio out from the interface, I'm assuming that I'd need an RCA to 1/8" cable back into my center console where the aux-in is, right?
