I have ordered one of those units. Not sure when it will get here, but it will be installed the moment it does.
I have had a unit from this company for a couple of years at least. I HIGHLY recommend them over any other unit for integration. It has worked (with some minor hick-ups now and than) and provided awesome sound for those long drives. I will add some more to this thread when I get the chance.

I have installed the SL2Vi in my '04 GX. It works well, the electronics package is smaller than the previous model. The installation was fairly straight forward. The only issue I have found is that it is necessary to select FM and back to disc to refresh the audio feed when cycling between the different disc modes. And you can view the video on the front screen from the Ipod (Classic w video) while driving if you wish. There is no hardware work-around required. But, I am not necessarily into that here in So.

I also had to bypass my DVD video playback to the front screen until they offer their "switcher". But, that is not an issue, since I could not see it before while driving. It still operates on the back RSES screen with no problems. Overall, I give it a ...
