When i purchased my 07 Lexus 350 with ML i notice in the arm lower compartment in the center console it had this Isimple interface that looked like it would connect with iphone/ipod but never paid attention to it. Just recently got an iphone, so i tried hooking it up to see if it will play music, but no luck! does anybody have this installed on their GS and know how to work this? currently i am just using it as a car charger lol

thanks in advanced

 

while plugged in, did you try to press the DISC button multiple times and see if you get into some kind of ipod mode?

 

Yeah I pressed every button and nothing

 

It may not work with iPhone only ipod

 

I have a second gen iPod touch. When apple decided to be more productivity and multiple tasking onscious, I think after version 3.2, the I simple interface was no longer compatible. I was getting that type of message after upgrading the iPod touch software and had to roll back the O/S. There was a chip you could purchase and then update firmware but you have to remove the isimple interface to do it and then reinstall it. I had only had mine in my GS and ES for maybe 5-6 months when this occurred and I wa pissed that TSS radio was no help in getting me the free chip. I also would have had to pay for the R&R in both cars. While this maynot have been the fault of the isimple company, I was still pissed off.

 

I have the isimple installed on mines. Try pressing the sat function. Mines is programmes to run on the satellite radio

 

okay i just finished installing my iSimple that i've had sitting around for ages now. When i first installed it, it was not working correctly. The radio would not switch over to AUX/SAT. In the instructions for the iSimple it tells you not to mess with the switches unless you drive a 2010 Camry....well..... you have to mess with the switches for the 2007 GS350 AWD w/ML. If you flip the first switch (1) to on, the iSimple will work. The only down side I'm experiencing with my iSimple is that there is a lag for the first minute or so when you turn on your car. You cannot change the stations and the volume is locked in which can be VERY annoying.
