Hi ...

I own a Lexus LS 430 model 2005 with NAV... I want to play video files .. from IPOD ..How can I do this?

Is I can also play video files from external Hardsk?

Please tell me if you know the device or on a Web site I can take advantage of it

Thanks ,,,

Search these forums for keyword "ipod", there are a few different options available. I use the VAISTech SL2Vi.

Maistro

Thank you for your cooperation ...

Because you are using Slav .. I have some questions ...

- How did you find SL2Vi quality ?
- SL2Vi does not have the 'video in motion override' .. How do solve this problem?
- What do you think about SL2iC ?

Thanks ,,,

- Quality is decent, very close or same quality as playing CDs using the factory CD changer.
- You can achieve video-in-motion by following the thread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...e-driving.html or by purchasing a plug-and-play kit such as http://beatsonicusa.com/nav-dvd-bypa...odule-302.html
- Don't know anything about it and therefore don't have an opinion

Vaistech has a brand new solution called SL2iC, see http://www.vaistech.com/products/ipod_out_products.php

You will find the unit compatibility in the manual at http://www.vaistech.com/manuals/Manual_SL2iC.pdf

ML+ is not working in your 2005 LS430 (navi gen 4). ML+ supports navi systems as of generation 5.

Can this also be achieved on a 2001?

Is yours with Nav? You will find at http://www.vaistech.com/products/sl2ic.php that it works as of 2001. Please send an email to info@vaistech.com and let us know whether yes or no is the answer.

Unfortunately .. I asked them if they tested with my car 2005 LS430 (navi gen 4) ... But he said NO ...

I have a query .. How can I know that my car has FACTORY DVD PLAYER or Not ?

What do you think of this product?

Please search here in the CL. Some owners have installed the Lockpick. It has two unlock functions only. Unlock functions are part of the Vaistech solutions (e.g. the I agree button disappears automatically). On your 2005 LS430 the MultimediaLinQ is working perfectly. However, it is digital cristal clear audio with USB and iPod connection, no video.
No LS430 has a factory DVD player. It is all CD. First Lexus LS with DVD is the LS460.

Thanks for the information ..
But you did not tell me what you think about this product http://www.coastaletech.com/DELUXE_LOCKPICK.htm

Is it worth it? What are the disadvantages for you?

whitetooth

No, it is not: Lockpick costs $229 to unlock Nav & Phone. No further value. For $249 you can buy the Vaistech MultimediaLinQ, see http://www.multimedialinq.com/vml.php
This is a cristal clear audio device with USB, Apple audio input and it sets the I agree button to disappear after some seconds. The navigation unlock is available with the new navigation DVD. Not sure about the phone. I have all numbers saved and can select on the mobile as well.

I recommend to buy the Vaistech, not the Lockpick!

Maistro

Thank you for your cooperation ..

But you probably did not understand the meaning of http://www.coastaletech.com/DELUXE_LOCKPICK.htm

This product is not only to unlock Nav & Phone .... The ULTIMATE LOCKPICK can TURN ON YOUR VIDEO AND AUDIO INPUTS for use with an aftermarket DVD player, Video iPOD, or custom computer installation. No need for adapters. Just plug in simple video or audio for a full multimedia experience.

About MultimediaLinQ ... this product for Audio only ... I want to play video files also ...

You asked for help and people have responded. If you don't agree or like their suggestions, it would be just best to ignore them and select whatever you think in best.

People may take it wrong if you ask for help and then argue with them over their suggestion.

Just my opinion, on offense intended.
