New OEM ipod integration - Scosche
Has anyone installed the quasi new Scosche AXIPTA ipod integration yet? I think it just came out about a month ago for our model and it allows touchscreen integration of your ipod. If you haven't heard anything about this yet, check out the website http://www.scosche.com/scosche_carau...&ItemID=AXIPTA. My lexus dealer wanted about $800 including installation. I love my ipod but $800 is kind of outrageous. As you can see, the part is $200 and even cheaper elsewhere if you search google. Apparently it is still usable with the factory XM radio installed. I was hoping someone already installed this and could shed some light on what was involved with installing this yourself. Looks like we are finally able to join the 21st century revolution!!!

RE: OEM Comments
"(Original Equipment Manufacturer) An organization that sells products that are made by other companies. The term is confusing because the OEM is really not the "original" manufacturer, but the vendor of the equipment to the end user. However, the OEM is often the designer of the equipment, and "original equipment designer" or "original concept designer" would be more fitting terms."
Do you really think that all Lexus parts were made by Lexus??? This is the product that is sold in the lexus parts and accessories department. Frankly, I don't give a s&#t what you call it, just want to know how to install it and if anyone has used it yet.

My sincere apologies to the easily offended. I'm not looking to split hairs about what OEM means and that was not the question my post posed. Pretty...pretty...pretty please, can someone let me know if they have any experience with the possibly non OEM ipod integration unit discussed in this thread? If my response has hurt you too much to answer, I understand.

Don't waste your time if you have ML
Well, after 90 minutes getting the dash all apart, removing the Vaistech unit I have in there (was going to move that to IS300), I find out that I'm SOL.
The instructions they give in the pamphlet are all but useless. For starters, there are two harnesses, one to use with the radio, the other with an XM unit. They don't tell you which is which.
But the punch line is that if you have ML, then this thing won't work at all with the GS. Even though they make no mention of on the web site or on the back of the box. The more I spoke with the tech guy, the less confident I became with this company.
Bottom line: steer clear.
