I have it and I think the sound quality is fine (just like in my Scion) however the one thing I don't like about it is that you use the Sat radio interface on the Nav screen, it does not allow for you to scroll through playlists/artists (unless I just haven't found out how to yet lol)

But with my Scions, (with Nav) the screen actually looked like an iPod screen when the iPod was plugged in, which was awesome:






I wish Lexus would do this…

I dont drive my car everyday so when i do drive my car my ipod is dead.
Mine did the same the other day
Maybe I should complain at the dealer.

Jenn, you can't scroll through your artists? You should see this screen, which allows you to browse by artist:

Hmm why that is a good question…I honestly don’t remember seeing that screen when I had my iPod plugged in, and I’ve been actually unplugging the iPod to change the artists—I’ll have to look again when I get home, but if that is the case then boy do I feel stooopid hahaha

I should have asked you on Friday night because when I was going through the Team America/South Park songs I was taking out the iPod to change artists haha

Hey guys,

I just bought a 2007 IS350 that my dealer picked up at an out of state auction for me. I will be trading in my 2006 IS250.

Anyway, do all 2007's have the SAT capability so that I can utilize the lexus ipod integration kit? The new car has nav, luxury pkg, but no ML.

I was hoping to order the ipod kit from the group buy from L tuned parts and have it before my cars ready to pick up

Thanks!

Brandon

Huh? the car has had AUX input since the very first year (06)


To the previous poster- yes all 07s either have sat or are sat-ready (it it'd be plug-n-play if you bought the sat tuner from Lexus)
