the isimple i had installed had the connection that went into the bottom of the ipod so it charges too, not the headphone jack. it took bb about 2 hours to install. they completely rip apart your center console and center dash so you might want to make sure the technician is not a 16 yo kid..... when i saw that they removed all this i was a little freaked out.

Update....
I had the I simple installed at best buy 3 weeks ago. I love it. It even charges the I Phone. I had it installed in the center counsel. I paid 179 for it and BB installed it for free. It took about 2 hours total.

I was about to run out to best buy tomorrow to get this installed but none of the nearby stores have these instock... I'm more interested in the fact that I can hook up my iPod with the AUX cable instead of the iPod cable. I rather switch and change songs thru my iPod, I don't care about seeing which songs are displayed on the console.

can anyone else compare the VaisTech and iSimple? Is the VaisTech worth 4x the price to get video from the iPod on the nav screen?

06 gs300 ML

So does the isimple work with the steering wheel controls?

Has anyone else had trouble with their stereos after installing?

I had it installed, but it's not showing track information. Everything else works fine. This is what I get.

Actually, it was user error on my part. I was on the Aux setting and not the iPod setting. It works great now!

I was told the same thing and had it installed at a car audio shop and it works but not perfect. Radio names showed up than disappeared. If i pressed the buttons on the screen to fast the unit restarts it's self. Also if i shake the wire attached to the ipod i hear loud static sometimes. I am going to get it checked out this week hoping maybe something wasn't installed right. One thing i must say it sounds good as hell on my ML System...

Default Isimple with mark levinson radio

I am wondering if anyone who has the ISIMPLE WITH MARK LEVINSON RADIO is having any problems with it. Like if you press screen buttons to fast unit shuts off and restarts. Radio text was showing fine but after playing with it for a while the text disappeared. The wire connected to the ipod makes a static noise if you shake it.
