Been a while since I posted anything in here but i think this would be worthy of a post. So here's my contribution to the forum.

So I was browsing around techinfo.lexus.com and found instructions for an iPod interface from lexus. Looks like they're making one for 2008. If anyone gets this, please report back and tell us how it is.

Thanks.

Hopefully it'll work for nonNavi, nonML 2006s - they have the most trouble due to the issues with the stock headunit. Its just not friendly to anything add on.

I've had it fitted by my local Lexus Dealership in the UK...works fine. It allows the use of the steering wheel controls to switch tracks/volume control etc: and turns off and on/charges the battery of the iPod. Only problem is it plays by Playlists, the first playlist comprising all of the tracks on the pod so you can play the lot by random shuffle or make up your own Playlists for more control.

Is there any jack for you r ipod in the 08, and what is the interface?

On page 1, it says "conflicts: XM or Sirius satellite radio"

So does this mean if you have satellite radio you can't use this??

I'm guessing they use the same rear connector. But that's a sh__load of disassembly to the dash area! And why have it come out of the glovebox and not the armrest where you can get at it?

I like it in the box so that i can lock it and forget about my ipod until i put new music on it. I used to hate constantly taking it out and putting it back in.

Does anybody know how much it cost and where to get it cause i went to Lexus today and give them the part number and they couldn't give a price. The parts guy said that they have to call the mainland....from HawaiiCL.

interestingly this unit sounds exactly like the Vaistech unit, even in how it installs, and the fact that it runs on playlists......I wonder how much it is vs. the vaistech unit....
I have the vaistech unit in 2 of my cars and Im very pleased.....
