Talking New 400h Owner
Well, after much waiting and constant delays on delivery, I picked up my new 2008 Smoky Granite Mica RX400h this past Tuesday. I am loving it.

Been lurking here a bit since I starting looking at the RX, but thought I'd post a quick hello to the group.

I have already installed the Vais SL2i and it works pretty well. Some quirks and not as user friendly as the iPod IMHO, but it is better than nothing, or even better than the casette adapter I sued with my previous vehicle.
