New RX350 owner with a couple of A/V queries
G'day..
First of all, great forum, love the amount of personal insight on here! I recently purchased a 2008 RX350 Sports/Luxury with ~67,000kms (42,000mi in your terms) from a family friend, and I am damn happy with it.. Just a quick query, however:
Regarding the varied A/V addon packages, is there a preferred option? From what I've seen, the two key products are from GTA Car Kits and VAIS Technology.. Does anyone have experience with either, or another alternative? The key thing I'm looking for is to play audio over bluetooth, whilst maintaining the vehicle's existing handsfree capabilities. iPod connection would be a nice bonus. My car has the Mark Levinson audio/navigation system.
Cheers

Does the iPod not have Bluetooth? If your device is Lightning are you willing to use a Lightning to 30 pin adapter?

Nope.. I have a 160gb iPod Classic loaded full that I have had connected to a Pioneer head unit in my old car, and wouldn't mind something similar if viable.

Cheers! Had any experience with http://gromaudio.com/store/vline/lex...nt_system.html ?
I don't think it's worth the $500.. I am pretty sure the price will drop to $300-$400 soon. I bought mine for $300 when it first came out.
