Best for 2G, 3G and 4G iPOD touch and for iPhone. It only works with iOS 4 devices.

If you're using a regular iPOD then you should get something else.

 

The only thing I haven't liked about the Vaistech SLI kit I have (got it in 2007) is that analog coaxial audio connection. I know there is a difference in audio quality when listening to music off of an MP3 CD vs listening to music off of my iPod as a result (at least I assume that is the reason). It's also a little frustrating that it doesn't pause my music when I turn off the car and start where it left off when I start it up again. Other than that, it's been fine.

Does this new Vais unit have the same hardware limitation? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the first party Lexus/Toyota iPod integration kit uses an all-digital connection:

I'm not sure if this one would work on my 2007 IS, though.

EDIT: Ah crap, so it's not backwards compatible with older gen iPods? Weak... guess I'll either have to update or skip this product. Still curious about the above questions, though.

 

Amplifier input is Digital only on ML vehicles and only for DVD. This statement only valid for 2006-2009 Lexus vehicles. CD/SAT input on all 2006-2009 US Lexus vehicles always been analog!
Even on 2010 Lexus factory USB input adapter use analog connection. Factory iPod to USB interface adapter is "Digital", but USB interface adapter connection to amplifier is analog. So it is partially "digital", but last connection (analog to amplifier) not even balanced analog audio.

Still shooting for a November 1st release date? Any plans for a CL group buy? Can you use say an older iPod nano and still control it through the steering wheel?

 

Still planning for November 1st release date for both SL2iC and MediaLinQ Plus. Which product are you referring to for older iPod Nano connection?

 

^ SL2iC. I know it obviously integrates with the iPhone OS4, but what about the iPod shuffles and nanos?

 

yes 3rd gen nanos.

 

Hmmm. I was hoping the SL2iC would have a digital connection. I've heard tons of reviews which say that the VML sounds much better than the analog Vais products on an ML sound system.

I may have to go for ML Plus. Haven't seen much on that though - screenshots, etc.

 

SL2iC can only work with Apple models which support iOS4. SL2iC is designed specifically for that. I don't think Apple made it available to upgrade older Nano to iOS4.

 

Planning to have pics and operation video for ML Plus early next week.

 

Hey it's early next week. Do you have any media for us?

 

Will the SL2iC work with Lexus LX 470 (2004) w/ Nav and Iphone 3G and Iphone 4?

If so, when can I place an order for it?

Thank you

 

If you have Gen 4 navi, then SL2iC should be compatible with it. You will be able to place an order for it next week.

Thanks!

 

Ok I have GEN5 NAV with ML and Iphone4 with OS4.1 so the SL2iC is the best one to go with? I am sorry miss the whole posts about this SL2iC for? please explain, thanks
