Default 2011 GS350 iPod Integration

Hi all,

I just discovered there's an iPod interface kit for my GS.

http://lexus.sewellparts.com/accesso...2011/3136.html

I currently have my iPod attached to the USB connection and it works ok. Do I gain (or lose) anything by using this interface kit instead?

Thanks!

Don't think that adds anything.

That kit looks like the kit for pre-10 model GSes with sat radio and are looking to replace that with iPod connectivity.

That said, it probably doesn't have the same 'auto-select' glitch in the Gen6 systems, but since it replaces the satellite radio I wouldn't go for it since there's no obvious improvement.

your 2011 GS should have USB, meaning you have full control over your iphone/ipod via touch screen. What more would you want??

Hey Mistro - I just went to their website and if that is what I think it is, that is going to be one dope system. Can you clarify it for me?

From reading it, it seems like it is basically a new brain for the Nav system.

Does that mean if I don't have Mark Levinson and I get this brain, it will let me watch videos on the screen? Also, it will have this dope new interface?

Thanks in advance.
