I'm looking too ... the VaisTech SL2i-UP does appear to be popular. I'm curious where best to locate it's control box. Their FAQ suggests leaving it accessible for upgrades. Is that needed, and if so where is the best spot in a LS460?
I like the VaisTech ML+ for the improve sound and video capabilities, but VaisTech's Application Guide only lists "2007-2009 LS 460/600h L without Mark Levinson". Is this correct?
Edit: On second look that is the SL2iC; the ML+ doesn't list the LS460 as compatible at all. That seems strange.
I also saw mention of a "group buy" last December. Is that over?

It is not from lack of searching, for I've read many posts on the topic, but the various ViaTech models seem to change with firmware updates and many of the forum's posts are in non-specific car model threads making it confusing.
Additional searching did turn up the "December Group Buy" which was just that and ended on 12/31.
I guess I will wait until the backup camera issue is resolved for the ML+ if that is what is preventing it from being listed as compatible.

sl2i-up will fit on all ls460, ml or not
vml works on all ls460 too
ml+ does not work on all ls460 yet, sometimes there are compatibility issues
sl2ic / sl2vi do not work on ls460
if you want simple ipod integration, sl2i-up is the most common. have done tons of them and people love it. some want better quality and/or need to use usb sticks and vml is the solution to go with. more expensive and bigger box to "hide"

Thanks rominl! That is exactly the info I was looking for.
The ml+ video output is impressive, so I'm tempted to wait for a resolution to the compatibility issues. Do you think it likely they will resolve the issues in the next 6 months or so? I should probably shot an email off to the sales group as cmasten suggests, however I find most sales departments to be overly optimistic since their goal is to sell, where as the users give a more realistic view of the products.
As far as "hiding" the bigger box for the ml+ or vml, would you suggest above the glove box, under one of the front seats, or else where?

actually you dont get sales with that address you get tech support, its the way their system is set up I guess. I have found them to be very knowledgeable and quick to respond.

under the seat i don't think you can do it, coz' it's all packed already. kick panel is all packed behind too
another thing to think about is where you will run the cables, especially the apple component cable
