Default Why can't the Navigation System be better?

Something as simple as displaying album art from my iPod would make me so happy!!!

I have been seeing those commercials lately of the new MyFord Touch on Fords. It looks freakin' awesome! And I hate american cars with a passion!!

They display album art, show pictures of your contacts when you have a phone call, etc.

Is this something Lexus can upgrade on the 2010+ units. I would happily pay for that upgrade. (Even though it should have come standard)

I think car companies with good reputations hold back on a lot of features because they know that people will still buy from them even when the competition is offering all these cool features as standard.

Does this upgrade include Album Art display?

^ Yup. It's true iPhone/iPod Touch integration using iOS 4.x "iPod Out" functionality. Google it. It also allows you to play movies from your iPhone/iPod Touch and lets you override the navigation and bluetooth nanny lockouts.

LOL! We should have a new CL acronym. "IBK"

I think one of the problems with OEM, integrated ICE systems is that in just a couple of years the technology will be outdated anyway.

Lexus is never bleeding edge. Even the clock is from 1990. It works.
