Noob Needs Your Guidance

Ok, I finally have some time to do a Nav to TV mod. I've done all the research and searched all over the forums. I think i know what i need to buy but wanted to run it by you guys to check. I want to order all these in time to do the install during my Christmas break. Big time Noob, i've never done anything like this. A friend, who's installed a few radios, is helping me. So any advice would be great.

Car
2006 Acura TSX with Navi and XM

Goal:
To play video from my IPod Touch on my Navigation Screen without losing Navigation or XM functions.

Things I Need:
1. Doms TVandNav2go w/ PnP
found some nice diy tutorials on how to install

2. Blitzsafe Aux Input Converter
A little confused on this one, where does this plug into? Near the XM box or behind the radio?

3. Kuda IPod Mounting Base
Looks easy to install

4. Apple Composite AV Cable
This will let me charge and pull video... anybody know where i can find a black one? The white is going to clash all over my black interior

Do I need anything else?

I'm going to recommend you get the USA SPEC interface instead of the Blitzsafe one. It is a newer generation of technology and does not have some of the bugs / faults the older Blitzsafe does, such as not powering on all of the time.

Additionally, it also serves as an ipod audio interface if you should ever choose to go that route. However, you will not be able to use the dock connector to get video, so you'll still have to use the Apple composite cable.

My USA spec decided it wanted to stop playing the right channel last week so ive gota send it back in to get it fixed/switched. Terrible customer service..you have to email for the phone number and it took me 6 tries to get ahold of anyone. It was working flawlessly though.
