Have to buy it separatly. I just got a nice 10ft from Amazon routed it from the unit and into the center armest console.. A suggestion is you place your unit in the glovebox. There is a panel that pops out. Therefore if there was an upgrade in the future or if you ever need to access the box it is right there.

it's very easy. Pretty much plug and play. The hardest part you will have is nudging the head unit console out. Just make sure you put the car in N and have a cloth over the shifter so you don't scratch anything. Follow all the DIY instructions here.

As mentioned above, its plug and play. Very easy to do as long as you follow the instructions on removing the head unit. Just make sure you dont do it on a cold day since clips tend to break easier on colder days than warm days.

I have the SLB4 unit for almost a year now. It work flawlessly with my previous iPhones 5 and 5s running iOS 7.

Now I upgraded to iPhone 6 on iOS 8.0.2. Unit works fine, but it's glitchy sometimes. I think is an iOS issue or SLB4 unit is not 100% compatible to iOS 8.

Gonna call vaistech and find out more.

With the iPhone, I have to have at least 2 play list setup. This is how the device loads the iPhone. Every time I connect my iphone, i have to wait for it to sync up with the play list and then open Pandora

the sound quality is great. Its just as good as the toyota ipod interface hard wire. I like how there is a USB port to connect a USB extension cable. This allows me to charge both my devices. I ran the extension table into my center console and have a iPhone and Samsung cable in there.

If you dont have the plastic tool kit to remove the unit, don't waste your money. I just used two credit cards and the unit came out real easily.


Hello,

I just got my device today and I wanted to confirm that I have to sync the device with my car first? or do I just plug and play? I have a 2006 gs300 non NAVI so which emulation mode I should be choosing? CD CHANGER emulation mode installation?


thanks in advance

Do you have any pictures of the setup? I'm not sure how you got it installed in glovebox and the USB wire coming from center armrest ? did you drill hole?
