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
You can place an order for SL2Vi over the phone, if in any case it doesn't work, we'll take it back no questions asked.

VML will work with any mass storage device, so it might be your phone or iPod!

If that is correct then when will the SL2Vi-Up be available? Hopefully before the 15th so I can get the discount.
SL2i-UP does charge iPod/iPhone through 5V, which is REQUIRED for all iPod/iPhone models released in 2008 and is COMPATIBLE with all prior iPod/iPhone models.

SLI and SL2Vi need 5V charging adapter if used with iPod/iPhone models released in 2008. 5V charging adapter is available as of today, November 3rd, 2008

i'll be out of town until 11/14 so hopefully i won't forget to call before the 15th! i just wonder which package will be sent (which plugs).

so how can, for example, my Palm Centro play through the VML?

btw is the SL2x series also thinner (less tall) than the SLi?

Sorry , but I was wondering if you had some sort of answer to my question. Definitely interested.

When you expect to release the SL2Vi-up that would support 5v without adapter. I hate to buy SL2Vi + adapter now if the 5v version is release soon. Trying to stay away from adapter. Can you send the pic of the adapter?

Video portion of the interface is controlled through iPod itself, but to switch to Video source you will just press DISC button on the Radio.

We are working on SL2Vi with 5V charging cable, but we don't know when it's going to be available.

We'll try a couple packages in your car to see which one works. Give us a call once you come back!

Hey Vais riddle me this....

I have an 08 IS-F, with XM Sat radio. The oem lexus unit is not compatible if you have Sat radio in the car. Is your Vais unit?

Thanks.

Just a quick compatibility note re:SL2Vi and the new LS460:

If you are installing the SL2Vi in a 2007 LS460 .. you should check the manufacture date of the vehicle. It appears the SL2Vi has video compatibility issues with some of the earlier amplifiers. Basically this results in the SL2Vi not being able to play video from your iPod through the factory audio/video system.

I am told the early 2007 LS406s leveraged the 2006 GS aplifiers, so this problem might also exist in the GS?

will the SL2Vi-P4 work with a GX 470 with Nav/ML/and RSES? The application guide for the SL2Vi-P4 says that a GX with my configuration is still under testing.

Thanks!
