This looks awesome. It's using the iPod out functionality in iOS4. I will definitely buy this when its out if it is available for my car.

Do you know if it will work with Gen 5 systems, or only with 2010+ Gen 6 cars?

Any sense on timing?

Ipod navi wont work since you need constant wireless internet connection to get the maps on the device. It would theoretically work on a iphone since it will constantly get map data as you move. GPS on the ipod and ipads only get geographical location but does not transmit data (like map data) through gps so unless you have wireless internet service its useless.

You don't need a constant wireless internet connection. You can use GPS navigation apps without any need for wireless data like Navigon or TomTom. They're accessed internally that's why their app sizes are like a gig. You can also display it on the screen while it's playing music also as shown in my other old thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...gation-gs.html

To answer the other question. You have full steering wheel controls when accessing ipod, pandora or any other audio on an 06. It doesn't seem to give the same ability to skip videos though, but I'm sure there's an app for that.

I didnt know they had apps that have data all stored locally, i was talking in terms of using like google maps, GPS drive, default iphone "maps" software.

What do you mean your car has wifi? Where is it getting wifi from?

you can use sl2vi on your car no problem without nav. if you want just mp3, you can get just sl2i-up. sl2ic right now is only for 07-09 (gen5). 06 (gen4) should be available soon

sl2vi will give you the connection. nav wise, it depends on your ipod/iphone/itouch, and also you need to jailbreak it.

06 gs300 no nav/ml, you need sl2vi-p1 i believe
