Default ipod/iphone player

I have lexus 430 2008/9 model. I can't find a way to plug my iphone/ipod to listen to music. Is there an extension?

My 2005 does not have an iPod input, so I use a cassette tape adapter.

You'll have to install an aftermarket adaptor. Most people use a unit made by Vais. Use the search feature and you'll find many threads on the subject.

Vaistech is the best solution for integrating your ipod. I personally installed them on both my LS & SC. They work phenomenal. Installation is about an hour and a half. Use the search and you should find a few threads on installation.

The Vais unit is only needed for 2004 and earlier models. You can use the Grom unit and save alot. Grom is only $130 but i would hold off if you are getting ready to upgrade to iphone 5 cause they are going to a 19 pin cable and there is no word yet if a adapater will be available, ie you may need to upgrade the cable in the near future. hopefully an adapter is debuted with the new iphone. I have the Grom unit and it has worked flawlessly.
details of the iphone 5 come out next month.
