Default RX350 iPod Integration

I have an 07 RX350 and have given up on the Sirius being available from Lexus (they sold it to me, I paid for it, but they can't provide it). I'm going to look at iPod integration - what systems have worked? I'm not looking for some K-Mart FM transmitter, I'm looking for true integration - displays on my nav screen, stereo controls work, etc. Anyone have anything that has worked?

Thanks!
James

Vaistech SLI www.vaistech.com You'll need to use the MP3 (SAT) emulation mode in order to display the song info, etc. on the NAV screen.

Default iPod integration for '05 RX330

32kcolors: Do you know if this installation would work as well with an '05 RX330? I've been told I could get the integration done, but song info, etc. would not show up on my NAV screen (it'd show up on the stereo LCD instead). Thanks for any insight into this - it's been like a search for the holy grail!

I haven't come across any posts that indicate the '05 RX330 won't display the song details on the NAV system. Other '05 RX330 owners here can confirm this for you. However, for Gen 4 or earlier NAV you want to use the CD changer emulation mode, not the CD-MP3 (SAT) emulation mode which is the only mode that works for Gen 5 NAV in the '07 RX350. Gen 5 NAV using the CD-MP3 mode will display more details (folder list containing all of the playlists) than some of the earlier generations NAV, but they should all display at least the individual playlist and track on the NAV screen.

Other than the song details, the "I agree" override works with Gen 4 NAV but not Gen 3 or 5.
