I have a question concerning where you put the Ipod once it;s plugged into the AUX jack. I just bought a charger and cable, and didn't think about the problem of where to put the Ipod and still close the console lid. Is it safe to pinch the wires and have it closed (at least the Ipod doesn't move around). Also, with the charger, is it safe to leave it plugged in the lighter when the car is off (the charger still lights up)?
anyone, anyone?

I think if you look at the console, under the armrest handle, there is a slight depression where you put your fingers to get under the handle to open the armrest. I have noticed that if the cord is thin enough, there is just enough gap on the left and right edges of the depression to fit the cord through without pinching. I can get some pictures if this is not clear...

Also, on the charger question, ...when the car is off, so is the charger, so I guess it's ok to leave the charger plugged in all the time.

i'm about to buy an rf remote anyday now, got it narrowed down to 2 models...the airclick is one of them, when you have it plugged into the dock connector, how do you charge your ipod battery at the same time?

It doesn't bother me that much, I tried to charge and use the ipod at the same time but all that interference from the charger ....

"AVIC-100i maintains the full functionality of AVIC-100, replacing an uncontrolled channel. It allows you to integrate your Apple iPod directly into Toyota/Lexus OEM Audio/Navigation system. You can now listen and control your iPod through the vehicle's head unit and audio steering wheel controls. At the same time you will also have an uncontrolled Audio/Video input for devices such as a DVD player, Camcorder or Gaming System and a controlled Video channel dedicated for rearview or "Baby" camera."
I would think maybe one of CL's vendors could shed some light on this aswell. She quoted my something like $350 for the unit and install. It might have even been more.

I found a unit with a part number similar to the one quoted above, but it was NOT for the 206 models. However, I found this one and am strongly considering it:

Anyone tried this unit?

This is all old news. It's already been shown that an integrated solution exists for the 2IS.
