Default Ipod integration question

I'm a new Lexus owner, and I love my Car but I have a stereo question.
I have a 2005 LS-430

When I bought that car I added Sirius Satellite radio with SSC1 tuner. When I installed it I asked about adding ipod integration and the installer said I would be unable to do so because there were no more opening in the back of the radio.

I have since found this item that said it can be added if the satellite radio is factory installed.

Although it is not factory installed I was hoping I would be able to ad this for my Ipod. Does anyone that know about stereo equipment know if this would work?

I appreciate any help I could get,
Thanks in advance.

I have added a VaisTech SL2s Sirius adapter with a Sirius SIR-PAN1 (not SSC1) tuner to my 04 LS430. I also have a VaisTech SL2i iPod adapter.

When I added the Sirius SL2s adapter, I thought I'd have to give up the SL2i iPod adapter I already had in the car, but Vaistech advised that the two units can be daisy-chained together. I did that and now have use of both ...

You may be able to do the same, but I don't know which brand Sirius adapter you have with your SSC1.

Note: Each adapter must be programmed individually. That is, first install & program the Sirius adapter setup. Then, unplug that setup. Now install & program the iPod adapter setup. Once each is programmed to work individually, the two can be just plugged together in daisy-chain fashion, and all should work fine. Of course, Im assuming both are VaisTech brand adapters. Other brands may work the same, though.

I have the iSimple adapter. It has the option for two inputs as well. You could use an iPod and sat radio receiver.

The Vaistech will display 16 characters on the LS screen. The iSimple will only display 10.

I have the 16 characters, so I guess that means I have the Vaistech adapter.
