not really, the wiring is different inside, you can use it if you connect the white/yellow/red connections a different way around.

Yeah just connect ;

Red RCA plug into your TVs yellow RCA jack, Yellow -white (tv) and White- red (tv).

I've not tried this, but, do the menus and everything of the iPod come up on the TV screen? if so, this could come in very handy for me!

I tried it when I first got my video iPod but not since (never really had the need). IIRC the tv doesn't show any menus at all. Just the video you're outputting.

Damn, that's that idea out of the window then, it would have been ideal, combined with the universal dock and remote.
