Default VAIS vs OEM Ipod intergration on Sewell

Hi,

I have a 06 GS300 with navi with ML and wondering what is my best choice in terms of Ipod intergration with wheel and screen controls? Whats the difference between the two?

I see everyone talk very highly of VAIS but why not OEM? Cost wise they are simliar, and usually I'm a fan of oem accessories

Thanks

The lexus option is fairly recent development. Vais has been around a while. Haven't looked at the lexus version recently but the first one that came out was not compatible with satellite radio which was deal killer for me.

Thanks for the input, made a good arguement for VAIS. Never considered XM cause the idea of a monthly service bothers me. Most of my music is coming from mp3s.. But having the flexibility would be nice considering price wise it wouldnt be too much of a difference
