oh yah, it will only cost you less than 8 bucks.

The difference between this and the FM tuners taht are available is yoou can hook up the kit directly through the Aux port which means true sound and it also has an amp to boost volume. It connects directly below and not to the headphone jack on the ipod.

And I don't even have my IS350 yet.

So I wanted to use the apple store because I have these apple gift cards with lots of unused balance $$$....but I went to belkin.com and purchased it there using online discount code 12345, brought the regular price of $39 down to $24 plus shipping/tax. 40% off.

Good luck. I also found a nice Ipod carrier and it was only a promo piece from Scion through Sion evolution. Cool gadget and works well wit the IS. I will post pix later.

Thanks Izzy for the info and link. I just went down to RS tonight and picked up the 90 degree adapter. As you said it works like a charm!
