Right now, it connects from the headphone port to the AUX connector on the head unit by a minijack to minijack audio cable. The PAL (Personal Audio Link) connector should be available later this year, which connects to the bottom of the iPod via the 30-pin dock connector. The PAL will output audio and charge the iPod at the same time.
The cable I currently have to output video (and audio) to the DVD unit in our Montana is the Apple iPod AV cable:

It's pricey if you buy the official Apple one, but it came with the AV Connection Kit I got for my iPod so I just use it in the car. You can use a similar no-name cable like if one came with your camcorder or something, but you have to switch the Red and Yellow connectors on the no-name (Apple does this so you have to buy their cable).
If you use the iPod to head unit or iPod to RCA input method, you have to turn the Volume Limit off if you set one (you can find it in the Settings menu of the iPod) and turn the iPod output all the way up, and you may have to turn the head unit volume up as well to get a decent sound level.
Hope this helps! :thumb:
