Default VAIStech ML+ capabilities in the LS460

Maaaaannnn, sorry to bug you guys but I have some questions regarding VAIStech ML+ capabilities in the LS460 specifically.

I just bought a used 07 LS460 with Nav and ML audio system. I've been thinking about picking up the VAIS ML+ system but I'm not 100% sure on what it's capable of. I think it does what I want it to.....

I believe with the ML+ I can play videos from an iPhone 4S (or an iPod video for that matter) on the factory navigation screen, correct ? But here are my main questions after searching for over an hour:
  1. [*]
  2. [*]

I used to have a 2000 GS300 with a Kenwood dnx8120 DVD/NAV headunit that allowed me to just plug in my iphone and play music videos from it, and have touchscreen capabilities as far as selecting the next/previous video. I'm hoping to have a similar feature with the ML+


Thanks

1) if you create a playlist of videos, you can select next video, etc... but you can't "choose" from video list. that's what i last heard

2) with the ml+ you can play video when driving by punching in the code. it still doesn't enable the factory dvd changer video playback i think, and won't enable you to use the nav

3) it's compatibility problem, it's not resolved and i am not sure if it will. i think you need to make sure you have the self park feature?

Thanks guys.

Yikes, I think I only have the Park Assist after looking at this thread:

So ML+ is a no go for me huh?

But then when I read this post it got me confused when he said they were able to fix the issue and newer models come with a software update:

I had similar questions so I emailed Vaistech.

They responded immediately with very detailed answers.
