no problem, always try to help. i am actually pretty amazed how well the two systems work together. i always think it's a bummer that all these ipod kits (toyota or vaistech) allow you to use ipod but you still can't access the menus. the override kit completely solves the problem
the video ipod vaistech unit is even "cooler" i think. i just did an install couple weeks ago, playing the video ipod on screen is pretty damn nice, and the override kit allows you to play when driving, plain awesome
hehe, kind of make me wish i got the sl2vi instead of sl2i-up

So I made the plunge and bought a whole mess of things. Bought the vaistech, and PS kit, should get it by Thursday. I plan on installing this on Sat.
Romin, when you installed both of these, did you do one first over the other? For instance Vaistech first, run the whole setup, made sure the Ipod worked and then moved onto the PS kit? Does it matter which order, or I can just start plugging away back there from both kits, and then just run the setup before I put the Nav unit back into place?
Not sure but, wasn't there a link from someone with photos of the Vaistech install? I've searched through the pages of the DIY link and couldn't find it, but I swear I've seen it before somewhere.
Thanks in advance again Romin.

overall it's a good idea to install one after another so in case you see problems it's easier to debug. it doesn't really matter which one you install first, they are accessing different part of the head unit anyway.
for me though, since i have done quite a few and kind of understand what's going on, i just do both together in one shot.

It was my first install and I did it all by myself. I did both of them together as they really are in two sections of the unit and had NO PROBLEMS!!!!! They are awesome! I really like the Nav feature that agrees to the agree screen. It is nice that you don't have to touch anything and it goes directly into the NAV. Also I love using the IPOD for my music source....May never listen to the radio again!
By the way 
on the write ups on the forum. You guys have made a wonderful resource available to us all! With the instructions provided and the write ups , piece of cake!
