7th Gen Aux Connections

I recently bought a 09 max SV premium, and I want to take advantage of the AUX connections in the glovebox to watch movies from my Iphone4,
So I bought the Aux cable that plugs into the glovebox (red,white, yellow) and plugs into the Iphone, when I switch the Radio to the AUX source, I can hear the sound from the movie playing but no Video, and after a few seconds the screen says "Video will resume when car is stopped" When I am in Park all ready.
Can this be a bad AUX port? Maybe the cable is not good (bought it from ebay) , I cant imagine it being the cable as it works fine when I use it at home to watch movies on the TV thru my Iphone.

Thanx in advance.

To get video you have to have the parking brake on since it's illegal to have video visible to the driver while driving. You could always get a bypass module though.
