Familiar with SL2Vi
hi guys, i called up Vaistech today and was asking them questions about the SL2Vi. I told them that I have navigation, but its not Mark Lev so it doesn't play Movies with the DVD player. I asked him if I could just use this unit to play movies with my IPOD and not worry about getting the switch for the DVD player in the car. He said it would cost around $239 for the SL2Vi, but I would need package 4 because it had the DVD switch so I could watch movies with the IPOD as well for $450. I thought i wouldn't need the switch because the SL2VI would display any vidoe on to the screen. Is this a correct asumption or do I still need the DVD switch to watch movies through my IPOD on my Nav Screen. thanks in advance.

Where do I find out information on the group buy? Is it available on Package 4?
Dows the SL2VI still require an override switch for the emergency break?

i returned my SL2Vi 6 months ago cause i was tired of the limitations.. such as only access songs via playlists. this is a big hassle if i wanna go by artists... i would have to create a playlists for all the artists.
any way, on vaistech website, it says i can access songs by artists, genre if i have the 5th gen nav. how do i know if mine is 5th gen? mine is an 07 gs. i might get it and try it again

I have an 08 with the newest Nav, does this mean I will be able to sort by artist name and than select the album and song? It doesn't make sense to get it for me if I have to go through playlist. Also, before I meant, if I have a movie loaded on my Ipod, i would still need the switch to watch the movie even though its not going through the DVD player but through the IPOD.

What is Package 4? I have an 07 GS450h and it says Package 4 is required. What does it offer that causes it to cost the additional expense?

Package 4 is also available for Group Buy pricing, if you would like to place an order please call us and mention CL pricing.

With SL2Vi you will be able to watch videos you have on your iPod right on your Nav screen.
Please keep in mind our system complies with Toyota safety feature, so you will be able to watch video only when parking brake is engaged.

does it still have the limitation of songs per playlist?
before i returned mine, i saw there was only 106 songs in a playlist that has 1120 songs. seems like the vais unit randomly picked out songs from the 1120 available in that playlist.

You can have as many songs per playlist as you want, but due to Radio limitation it can only display 3 digits for song number in CD-MP3 emulation, and 2 digits for song number in CD emulation. So once you cross song number 999 in CD-MP3 emulation it'll display the last three digits of the song number only, for CD emulation it'll display last two digits for song number only once you cross 99.
