Does anyone know what the iPod story is with the new RX? Has lexus finally provided a factory solution for displaying playlists and artist information? Their lame solution in the past was to have an Aux input and claim that was an iPod solution. Also anyone know if they still have the lock out on using the NAV while in motion?

 

There is iPod integration with the 3RX, you can see playlists, select songs, etc. when the iPod is connected via USB (there is a USB connector in the center armrest storage area).

The lockout is still there but supposedly the casual voice recognition helps alleviate it.

 

Yes its IPod compatible. When I was at the RX preview, we had a mini I-phone meet inside (lol) and one guy sync'd it seemingly in a few seconds.

 

I hope it's better than the iPod adaptor in the RX400 - all it shows is title and artist in the "TEXT" view. Otherwise, to find other albums by the same artist you're listening to, or to just find another artist is not user friendly AT ALL!

Have they improved things for the 2010?
