Not sure if anyone posted this, but the Lexus Perfomance Driving Academy gave an IPOD cable as a part of the gift bag. It was a reallt nice gesture even though I bought one a year back. Just a heads up for all those attending.

i have the vaistech kit so i have no reason to use the AUX. its much nicer this way, charge and play w/ one cord that is hidden out of sight in the glovebox and control through the OEM steroe controls. who could ask for more...
I always use the aux.
slightly inconvenient cause of location, but the wire hides under the console even when it's closed so it's not too bad.
and i have a rubber casing on my ipod so it holds it in place

... although, I did have to go to the dealer and have the AUX TSB performed because of engine noise coming through the system... even though I am using the Monster Cable unit. No problems since that fix, and I use my iPod daily in that port.

Doesn't charge the newest gen stuff (like iphone 3G and newer) but you can get an adapter to do so if you need it and plays music regardless

Obviously since no one else has said it my case must be an isolated event but, mine only plays in mono through the front speakers. Guess I'll bring it up next time I take it to the dealer. Which will be soon since my driver side controls for both passenger side windows stopped working after my battery died and I had to change it out.

The mono issue is probably the cable you're using.
