Well finished the install, put the vais2up down by the right panel like others did...nice location and easy access. Had problem programming, but it finally worked...instructions are weird..says to put left switch in up position, wait for beeps,then put both switches up...listen for confirmation beep, and than it says to put both switches up (ok they already were)...Anyway it is late didnt have time to really play...I see i need to organize my playlist better..but at least it works..not sure yet about the DVD in motion...try tomorrow.. I installed the Beatsonic DVD bypass...

Very cool..
some odd reason, CD2 (iPod/iPhone) interface stopped working yesterday for me. I had to access the unit and initialize the unit. All is well now. Glad I chose to install it in a place where the unit can be accessed very easily.

iTunes isn't as intuitive as you would think for those who haven't used it before! If you have questions, just ask. Glad it's working though and that the Beat Sonic install went well...nice feature to have DVD playback on the Nav.
Rx400h1976, just curious, are you using an IPhone or IPod with your Vais?

In the past, vendors have come on the forum to sponsor group buys and such. Try searching for vais group buy to get their forum name although I'm not certain they'd respond and even if they did, unless they were starting a group buy, they'd probably just give you the website price.
Alternatively, you can call/email Vais to get a list of vendors in your area. When I did so, one vendor I called was able to discount the product if I could pick it up and pay in cash.
Finally, EBay is a good option to find deals. Got a SL2Vi for 152!

I investigated the hookup on that kit, I went to the trunk area and found the nav unit...Did you run the wiring along the left side of the car under the sill plates to get it to the dash?

Thomas1, did you get the Navigation module up and running? If so, did you funnel the wires underneath the left or the right side kick panel to place the switch in the front. I will be installing a Navtool in the next few days, which also gies in the back and has a switch that should go up front.
Once installed, will be able to hook up either a media player or game console to display on the Nav screen so looking forward to installing it!

I first tried running the wire along the left side of the car, then realized that i will have to run around existing fuses/steering/AFS switch etc. Plus, this would be easily visible/accessible during any service at Lexus. Decided to run it along the right (passenger) side. Works great and happy with the location.
