If you would like to get both iPod and iPod Video then you do want to get SL2Vi. If you have Mark Levinson system in your car then you need to get SL2Vi-P4.

Thanks for the continued support VaisTech, particularly dropping the cost of shipping on the VML on request... :-)
I have a question: it appears the HDD for the VML is either a 40 or 80Gb 2.5" IDE only. Is there any way to either use a larger capacity drive and has any experimentation been done with solid state HDDs? I ask because I have a lovely 80gb SATA (not IDE) SDHDD that I could use - with zero moving parts, it's an ideal automotive drive as it's thermal output is near zero and no chance of crashing the heads driving over a hole ;-)
Thanks in advance for any investigations and response,
Cheers, Mike

Hello Vais,
Sorry. i think there's a discrepancy between what you posted here and the website or maybe i'm just misunderstanding.
for an 06 is350 w/nav and no ML to get the Ipod w/audio and video - get the SL2VI.
But, do I need to get the package SL2VI package 4?
In the same regard, if I was to get the SL2VU - would I need to get the package 4?
Thanks,
Z

I was just looking online into VML installation manual and it mentions audio wiring harness and y-cable harness being included, but nothing about USB extension cable that goes from the box to wherever I plug in usb stick. I already placed an order for VML a few days ago, should have it early next week (woo-hoo!!!), but forgot to ask the sales guy about it since I don't think I have any extention cables available.

I'm looking at the SL2i-UP for my 2006 IS350 w/ML. Just to confirm, I'll be able to control my music via steering wheel controls, the Nav screen, AND from the iPod itself? I had a friend that had iPod integration in his car but the iPod was completely locked from user control.
