there is an aux input, and that's the only way to connect the ipod to the IS. but it's kinda generic, i wouldn't call it a real ipod port

how come some of you guys say you cant close the center console when the ipod is plugged in? what kind of plugs are you using? i've been using the plug that lexus gave me with my nano and the console closes fine..and the ipod sounds good too

Does the regular (Non ML) stereo display track information from your ipod on the head unit screen?

there is no way you can display song information on the IS stock, ml or not, nav or not

I found the volume level via the AUX input to be too low. To improve it, I bought a Belkin Auto Kit ($39 retail). You still need a male to male 3.5mm connector from the Belkin to the AUX input.

Belkin Auto Kit connects the iPod to your car's 12V lighter jack, charging the iPod as well as providing an adjustable amplifier and 3.5mm audio-out jack. All of this is through the iPod dock connector. The extra gain is very nice.

From what I've read on Apple forums, the output via iPod dock connector is superior to that from the headphone jack.

Sounds like some are using the 40gig or color ipods, not the Nano's. I can see where it might be a tought squeeze to the full size ipod in.....
