Are anyone of you guys using iSimple that can provide some good feedback? I've noticed a lot are using Vaistech. I have 06 GS300 with ML and Nav. Thanks in advance.

I have iSimple and Vaistech SL2Vi both work, no complaints.

The iSimple is in the glove box for anyone to hook up to while they are in the car (charges iPhone). My Vaistech unit is in the center console just for me.

Awesome! Thanks for the reply. I plan to install the iSimple and Sirius SC-C1 next week.

Cool. Good luck man!

Yah, I got it, in retrospect I would have bought the VAISTECH unit. The controls are weird but work. It seems the VAIS units are a bit better on the G.U.I.

Thanks bro! Yea I've been reading the Vaistech is better. I'm a simple guy. Just wanted to play from the iphone. I'm currently using the tape adpater thingy. "fail"

I was going to get the isimple but vaistech is having an end of the year group buy so why not.

benztolex

Yes I was eying that as well. I actually bought my iSimple on walmart.com for $99.00. I seriously hope I don't regret getting this instead of the Vaistech.

You won't regret it, I looked at this before I got my vaistech. The only reason I didn't get the I simple was because most of the best buy employees didn't want to touch my car cause it was expensive and they have had a lot of trouble installing, but there are a couple of Lexus owners that have it. It's a good product falls right next to the vaistech.

Let us know how it goes I still got a couple days before the sale is over and I really don't need anything expensive to play my iphone.

I have isimple in my GS350, they makes several units for your vehicle if you just want to connect iPhone or iPod you use the basic unit(isty571) to connect Sirius you use(isty572) with THEIR pinned cable and you are good to go.I used fleabay and Craigslist to purchase items needed. I saved about 80 bucks going this route. No problems so far been installed for couple of months.

Thanks bro for the input. Best buy ISimple cost $199. Walmart has them for $99. I've gone to Best Buy twice and seemed they were cluesless of how to install.
I'll let you know. Hopefull I'll have it by the 26th. I think the sale ends of the 29th. I'll post pics.
Ahhhh ok thanks. I hope I didn't order the wrong iSimple. But I'm looking at a bundle from Amzaon with both moduels. I may order one of these.

i-simple came with my car. install by previous owner.

What i like.
Quickly recognizes the unit.
plenty of cable to hide unit( my cable exits out from the center console, so when not in use I can hide it away or I can extend the cable to the cup holder where the phone will rest)
Steering wheel controls work to scroll through playlist songs
screen shows song and artist
Sound is acceptable.

Dislikes
cant change playlist from car screen
disables iphone while playing (meaning to change playlist or go to a diffident artist, you have to switch out of Sat/aux mode on the car to regain control of your iphone)

For the $ its a good buy.
