Default iPod Touch Integration (2000 GS400)

For those of us that can't use the Vais Technology SL2 in our cars, I have a solution.

I have Nav-TV unit, direct FM modulator and Simple Mac iPod integration with digital audio, charging ability and video.

Here's a link (sorry about bad video quality, it's on a camera phone and in the dark) Oh and this all ran me $300 for parts and installation.

Nice! your intergration has video ability.
I recently purchased this "LEXPD2" for ipod adapter & charging unit http://www.ipodcarpros.com/product_i...products_id=87 which works pretty good. Clear sound & able to change track on my Nav-unit w/o touching the ipod.

Post a link or item used!

Sorry, I don't have links to the product pages, all of the parts used and installed was from Car Toys (my buddy is an installer and gets me hooked up). From what I understand, the Nav-TV (it's actually called Nav-TV) unit is pretty universal, same with the FM modulator (Audiovox) and Simple Mac units.

Saka, ah, I didn't know anyone had attempted it. lol the smaller screen on the left corner of the video is my front navigation screen.

What's are options for us GS400 guys? I have searched and can't really find any solid definite info on integrating my iphone into the speakers. My itrip sucks and the static is really starting to get annoying.
