Aftermarket iPod Integration
I just picked up a 2005 GX from a friend and one of my first orders of business is to try and get an iPod hook-up. After a quick google search, I came up with this company, VAIS (http://www.vaistech.com/), that looks to have nice plug-n-play solutions. Anyone have any experience with them?
Thanks in advance.

This has been discussed several times in this forum. Do a search, and you will find that most CL members have the Vaistec System in their GX. I do as well, and it is a fantastic unit. You won't be disappointed. I have never had another option to compare it to, other than the tape deck adapter and a RF transmitter. This is in a class of it's own compared to those.
Added bonus, It can be programed to automaticly press the "I Agree" button on the nav system that has to be acknowledged at every start-up.

I have the SLR1 modle I believe. It was installed by the Lexus Dealer on my request prior to taking delivery of the vehicle. (included). They were unaware that the system could be programed to overide the I agree button, so I did that myself. It is a 3 minute job that is done by toggling and electronic on off button within the system through the navigation screen.
The conector is routed to exit in the glove compartment, so the Ipod stays out of sight. and charges the ipod as well. I have a nano which stays in the truck all the time, so it is more like a hard drive for music, which I remove only to add songs to.

No lockout with use of steering wheel controls, or dashboard controls, but you can't use the Ipod scroll wheel etc. on the ipod itself when it is hooked to the device. I comes up on the ipod screen "vaistech" and that is all.
