iSimple iPod interface
#46
My Isimple unit has a standard headphone plug in addition to the ipod interface cable. You can plug this into your blackberry and stream pandora. You just have to switch the sat channel to Aux 2 or something like that. This is also useful if you would rather use the ipods controls instead of the car radio controls. I personally think the cars interface makes it a little difficult to navigate through the ipod.
How long did it take them to install it?

When you have the sat channel tuned to "ipod" so you can control the ipod with the car radio controls, you can not use the ipod controls. However you can plug the included headphone plug into the ipod instead of the ipod interface cable, tune the sat channel to "aux 2", and use the ipods controls.

I bought the car with it installed. The Isimple unit and the cables are in the glove box. Some day I will run the ipod and aux cables into the center console.

Is there a basic iPod connector for the 06 GS? id prefer to use the controls on my ipod then emulating the cd changer controls, etc...
Something that plugs into the head unit and just has a headphone jack connector to the iPod?

i can't think of another simple way to add an aux input to the car. 08+ has an extra aux, but the setup is different from the 06/07, don't think you can add that. you basically need a way to get the system to recognize a new input in a separate mode

i had the isimple installed at bb and it screwed up my entire navigation system (i could not work the radio, the heat, the navi, NOTHING......). i thought it was a problem with the car and brought it to lexus and they diagnosed it as a problem with the isimple. they said it could have been defective. i am bringing it back this weekend to bb to have new hardware installed i will see if it messes me up agaon.
