i always love plugging the ipod/ipohne to the aux but he downside of this is that i can't control the tracks and playlist thru my steering wheel buttons.. and i can't close the center console with the wire out..

what should i buy in order to control the ipod with the steering wheel controls? will it be compatible in our stock h.u.?

if you can post links to sites where i can buy this integration kit that is suitable for our stock radio thanks

I just ordered from this site for my wife's 2003 ls430. Your mileage may vary.

 

I think you can get it from Lexus

 

In addition to the ones mentioned above, you can also get one from Vais Technology; www.vaistech.com. You may want to try searching our archives with things like "ipod integration", "vais", "dice", etc, as there is plenty of information, reviews, problems and solutions that have been discussed over the years.
