I also have a Kenwood in dash MP3 player, and it allows several external
inputs (3 changers and 2 aux ins) through an aux box. I found this on
Crutchfield

mine was similar (it has no video switching) but a lot cheaper. Like $50.
It's hooked up to the laptop via the laptop's headphone output and a Radio
Snack adaptor for converting a the headphone mini plug to RCA plugs.

But with this setup, I can use my laptop as a music server, and also get
psuedo surround sound when watching movies on the laptop.
