Exclamation ML radio won't read the VAIS IVIC or the IPOD hookup

Hey everyone, (I have an 07 GS350 with the ML Nav system) so the VML I had in the car stopped working for no reason a while back and I figured that the unit may have gone bad since it was used before I got it. I checked all the connections first and figured it must be dead.

So then I ordered the iVIC-5i and hooked everything up and when I went to program the unit nothing happens on the screen. Like the radio isn't reading or getting a signal from that input or something now. The unit has power to it, the green and or yellow LEDs are on depending which way the switches are pointed but nothing happens on the screen. I called VAIS and after being on the phone with the tech support for 30-40 minutes they figured the unit was defective and sent me another one, and thats doing the same thing.

So Im wondering what in the world could have happened since it used to work? Is there some setting in the radio that I can't find to turn on that input, or a fuse? Im kinda stumped on this and figured some of you gurus out there may know the answer. Thank you in advance!

Mike

BTW, I have no clue when or what made the previous unit stop working. My wife just said it hasn't worked for a couple months and she just never told me. Thanks!

Mine is the 5th gen, and the Ivic-5i for the iPhone. After I plugged everything in and I turn the radio on, nothing on the OEM radio changes at all, the LEDs on the box will light up, so the ivic has power, and the screen works so the video cable is plugged in right.

I was wondering if theres some other way of getting to to come up on the screen so I can set it up from there. I never get any beeps or anything like the install manual says, and VAIS had no clue why it wasn't working. So thats why I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue.
