How do you do this???

 

select a song -> get info -> options (tab) -> volume adjustment = none; you can raise it +100%

 

Awesome, I just turned on the "I Agree" button press. SWEEEEEET!!!!!

 

A question to those who have installed their VAIS integration kit. Did anyone disconnect the battery? Is it necessary to disconnect the battery for the installation?

 

Nah, don't need to.

 

Got mine installed today (and did the nav hack at the same time) -- thanks for everyone's up-front work about where to place the module, ipod, and of course for the OMFG nav hack info... makes the electronics package a whole different animal.

 

Where did you put the Vais unit and the iPod?

 

Unit's down by the shifter under the plastic in front of the cup holder, ipod in the center console

 

Sweet!

 

Pochy, it looks like you put the unit in the same place. Does it fit in there snugly or do you have to mount in on something? You don't want it rattling around in there.

 

No rattles. It fits very snug. Doesn't matter, my a pillar rattles anyway.

 

Just got off the phone with Vaistech sales lady. She said the AVIC-100i should be available by end of year(2006), then said probably November 2006. So... I'd say Novemeber 30 at earliest, more likely December or first of 2007 since it was a sales person giving the date.

I'm suppose to get my IS 350 at end of July and was hoping AVIC-100i would be out by then. I guess I'll just wait for it since I also would like to have video routed to NAV and only want to take the NAV unit out once to do hack and install Vaistech.

Question: Is the NAV hack really worth going ahead and doing it now and taking NAV out again once I get AVIC-100i or should I wait for AVIC-100i and do them both at once to cut down on potention scratches or clips breaking?

I don't have reason to believe AVIC-100i is vaporware from conversation with Vaistech so I would think it should happen by year end.

Thanks.

 

I have every reason to believe that if you are extra extra careful, you'll have no problems performing minor surgery. That's what I hear.

 

Did not see anyone answer this, so here goes. I HAVE done the nav hack and I can see and scroll thru all detail on songs and playlists while in motion. Someone without the nav hack will have to say if those functions are disabled when moving...

 

Those functions are disabled. I haven't done the hack and I can't access playlists or scroll through while in motion. I'm going to do the nav hack this weekend because it's annoying. And if you're wondering why I didn't do it while I was installing the Vais unit, it's because I'm retarded and didn't have caps for the wires while I was doing the install. So I'll be yanking the nav out again.
