Im just curious.. if the only difference between the SL2Vi and the SL2Vi-P4 is the cable, why the 80 dollar price difference? I have an 08 IS250 with Nav and ML, so i would need the SL2Vi-P4, but the price is holding me back.
Second question, will the MultiMediaLinQ work with my car? And when will the video version be available? I may end up waiting for that product to be released. Thanks.

iPhone 3G and iPod models released in 2008 can only be charged through USB (5V). So SL2Vi needs to use 5V charging converter we are releasing today.

As we mentioned above VML - MultiMediaLinQ with Video is still in the development, so we don't even know the dates of when it might be available.

still making decision, but reading recent posts i have more questions. seems like you are saying the iphone 3g and any ipod since 2008 have different charging mechanism, thus the need of sl2vi-p4 plus the charging module, how about the sl2i-up? it already has the 5v charging capability, thus in the comparison chart it says the sl2i-up can charge the iphone 3g? and i suppose that will be able to charge any ipod since 2008 (as well as any previous ipod models or iphone)?
sorry i am just a bit confused

it says sl2i-up can charge iphone 3g, but from what you said seems like sl2i-up supports 5v but iphone 3g takes 12v usb to charge?

a little off topic. i recently installed the SLi but recently my HU has been turning on/off randomly (i can still eject CDs though). connections seem to be good. is this a problem people have had in the past?
i've been thinking of changing to a SLU but i wish you would make a SL2u (smaller and/or better sound quality). now i'm feeling forced to get an ipod. what's my best option? will the future MML+video have regular rather than USB only input? will things ever be tested on a 2003 IS300 with navigation (i.e. SL2vi)?

VML might be a pretty good option for you, you can use any mass storage device with it, so you can use any MP3 player that is a mass storage.
SL2Vi hasn't been tested with IS300, but you are welcome to test if you'd like.
Thanks,

I have seen this before, mainly problem was the connection on the back of the radio, so please double check it, also you can check pins inside the connectors to make sure it's all good there as well.

i don't think the VML would be an option for me because i'd rather play content from my cell phone and even the iPod doesn't plug into it directly

Just to confirm that the SL2i-UP already integraded the 5v charging for 3G so it doesn't need the adapter. For anyone that has the older SL2i then they need the adapter for 3G?
If that is correct then when will the SL2Vi-Up be available? Hopefully before the 15th so I can get the discount.
