I don't know of any off the top of my head, I'd have to look around. If I find anything I'll let you know. Even if you could get an adapter for iphone to vga, dvi-d, or s-video, you won't have any sound, those formats only support video.

One way you could do it is by connecting a computer to it with iTunes installed that is connected to the projector. You can then hook your iPhone up to it, or if you have a wireless network installed you can download the remote application for the iPhone to control your iTunes library remotely if you are connected to the same Wi-Fi network the computer is on.

What you refer to as "single video output" is most likely a composite video input. If that is the case, then the Apple Composite AV Cable is what you need. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB129LL/A

This cable also includes audio outputs that you connect to your audio system.

Make sure you purchase the cable from Apple. Similarly named cables for sale at eBay and other sources may not work.

thanks for the quick response,

the wi-fi is an interesting idea, but it is going to be outside so may prove to be tricky.

If you have a laptop or computer with a wireless card you can setup a adhoc network that will allow your iphone to connect to the computer through its wireless card. This will put you on the same network and allow you to control iTunes from the computer.

Apparently you cannot adjust volume with these.
