Ok, I bought the ipod integration and installed it. It works through the satellite not the cd like the vaistech. You can browse album ,artist, playlist, and songs. One of my playlists holds 375 songs. I have pictures if anyone would like for mr to post them. It cost $219 total. I put it through my glove as well. I havent found out if you can shuffle songs either. I need more time to play with it. Also the up and down buttons on the steering wheel are useless but volume woks. Navi is fully functional as well.

This allows me to use the all the sterring wheel controls...bought it more 160 and had installed in a local stero shop for 90. All in for 250 and it works great...

Given that the device that kobrapack9 installed uses the satellite radio input, does that mean that you can't later add the satellite radio module? Or is the system able to handle both? (The instructions that kobrapack9 posted above are much too small to read.

You only need the sat button and input behind the Nav. You do not need to subscribe to it. I do not have Sat radio. It does handle both though. If I ever decide to add sat radio, there is an input for it on the device. I actually fond that if you have your ipod on shuffle, it will do it on the Navi. I really like the setup. I did not want to put all of my songs on playlists with the vaistech. My only gripe is that you cannot scroll with the steering wheel but the up and down buttons on the radio works fine.

kobra, what you have isn't the Official iPod kit from Toyota/Lexus. I only want integration if it does NOT interfere or emulate Sat radio/CD changer.
I want on screen album covers, access to all content, etc.
