VML-MultiMediaLinQ is compatible with new 2010 Lexus models.

These two videos will show you how easy it is to remove factory USB unit and put VAIS Technology VML instead. And you can also compare how much faster VML allows you to browse your iPod, and how much convenient it is to be able to go through your iPod library without "auto select" feature.

I imagine a lot of people would buy this.

Does the original iPod control blink like that when selecting a song?

Factory does blink the same way, but stays grayed out for longer.

Sooooo, I'm trying to find just a ball park price on something like this...... anyone have any ideas? Also, any recommendations as to hard drive addition? What's the advantages?

Thanks

Seems to be 319.99 without hdd cable and 334.99 with hdd cable, this is just from their website. I am not sure what the advantages of having a hard drive are, perhaps its faster to look up songs? personally I think using an ipod makes it easier to update your songs.

if i get rx, i will for sure get the vml. a lot of the factory setup just doesn't make sense, and not able to use iphone, that's even more painful

with hdd, it's just another mean of storage. to me it's not as attractive, but just like ls460, some people love the hdd storage

Just curious if this is also compatible with the 2010 RX models without the NAV option?

Yes it is!

The hard drive would be ideal for those with extensive music libraries stored in FLAC format (higher quality "lossless" file format, but much larger file sizes vs. lower quality MP3's). For example, I'm an audiophile with over 1000 CD's all "ripped" to FLAC files, and stored on an external hard drive (and streamed to my home stereo setup via a Squeezebox Touch). I could copy 100+ FLAC albums onto the hard drive, without having to convert to the lower quality MP3 format. Unfortunately, adding new albums to the hard drive (once installed) with this product seems to be a cumbersome process using a Flash Drive.

Eventually, I suspect somebody will offer an aftermarket solution that incorporates wireless networking, so I could just pull my car into my garage, and wirelessly transfer music from my home server. That's what I'd be most interested in!

How about iPod video?

Is the SL2Vi compatible for 2010 yet? If not, when do you expect to have this?

I have a 2010 RX and Aussie ones don't have a USB input at all. Had a VML installed. Brilliant. Can't recommend it highly enough.

SL2Vi isn't compatible with 2010 models. But we are working on the new unit will provide two Audio/Video inputs into 2010+ models. It is expected to be released in September this year. Expected price ~$500 and it will work while the car is in motion.

Thanks harleydjce!

Vaistech,

The number one feature on my wish list is quick scrolling; that is, fast scrolling through albums, artists, songs without stopping one screen at a time--or even better an iPhone-like option to click directly on the first letter of the album, artist, or song.

I have thousands of songs from hundreds of artists on my iPod, and even with the disabled automatic selection feature provided by your product, it still would be a chore to select a song from an artist whose name begins with an "M", for example (since you must start from A or Z every time you search for songs). If I could just hold down the up/down button, and scroll quickly through all the artists, without stopping, so that I could reach an artist within 5 seconds, I would buy your product without hesitation.

Oh yeah, one more item on my wish list. If the Lexus is playing a certain song, and I select the Menu option, it would be great if the search screen started from that same song, instead of starting from the very first album/artist/song by alphabetical order. For instance, sometimes I might be listening to a song by Journey, when I decide I want to listen to another song by Journey from another album. Under the current setup, my search has to restart from the letter A and I have scroll down to J again. I could of course set up a playlist for specifically Journey songs. But it's impossible to set up playlists for the limitless combination of possibilities that would satisfy my whims at some particular moment.

Thanks for listening.

Thanks for the response.

Will we be able to view the video inputs on the rear entertainment screens as well as the front NAV screen?
