Of course you still have access! This is just recognized as an external plug n play unit.

I heard there is a ipod intergration kit that will allow you to see your ipod trak listings as well as videos from ipod video...if you have the navigation....is this true? Will this kit do that?

Yes, The SLI won't do it, but their newest SL2I kit will be upgradable to the video option. Since the hardware will be the same, you can just buy the existing SL2I kit. Vaistech said they'll be charging SL2I users the difference between the two kits.

^^^ so i had heat related issues and i live in kansas. in certain areas of your 2is, it's gets hot no matter where you live. i don't think it has anything to do with your geographical region. i found that one of the vais component was touching metal which allowed the heat to conduct faster and i ended up with some melting that affected the performance.
if i were you i would perform the installation. there are steps you can take to help avoid excessive heat. you can make sure you properly install the components away from high heat areas and you can also take steps to protect or insulate those component from the heat.

i don't remember exactly where the heat was excessive but i would imagine improper installation refers to don't let the plastic parts of the harness come in contact with metal. it's been over a year but i would say the heat is not hot air or hot conditions but hot parts as in metallic parts.

Thanks Mike for showing me this thread. Unfortunately I got it a little too late. With a regular, small kitchen knife I cut a rectangle in the bottom of the cigarette astray holder.... Yeaaaaaa, not a good look. I do not recommend it.
Anybody want to trade parts?

Anyone know when they will provide a compatible cable for the iPhone 3g. Questions on this go unanswered on their web site.
