AUX/MP3 input?

I use the AUX occasionally for my iPod. I use a reg standard Monster cable. Sound quality is ok, nothing spectacular plus you have to crank up the volume on the iPod really high. I am thinking of switching to a cable that hooks up to the iPod dock w/o going through the headphone jack because I've heard the sound quality is better this way. My current Monster cable is hella long so it takes up a lot of space in my console. I also agree w/the others that the location of the port could be better.

Without an iPod integration solution like Vaistech or Dice, there is no way change songs or view artist/title info except on the iPod itself. Regardless of your hookup, the volume control on the steering wheel is active.

As i said somewhere previously, the aux jack is primitive and not allowing you to control the ipod via the steering wheel would render it useless to me. Lexus should built all things connectors wireless.

Where did you get this cable? I've been looking for one like this for a long time (mini to IPOD connection).
Thanks!

I honestly think the AUX is simply the easiest and best way to go. I have mine connected constantly through one of them male/male polk audio cables. I always use my iPod walking from class to class so it's always updated; plugging it in after class and jumping into my car is no big deal; don't have to burn CDs when I get home for the car. Very seamless, and I prefer it to iPod integration because like I said before, I do take the iPod out of the car constantly so there really is no point.
