I installed the new USA SPEC PA20-TOY Ipod interface yesterday (I got tired of waiting on VIAS to release thier new software) and love it, it works great. You can choose Playlists, Albums, Artists, Genre and Songs, it's pretty much the same as what VAIS is going to come out with, but it's a $100.00 cheaper. Installation was a breeze (aside from taking out those *****ing A/C vents, don't know what Lexus was thinking with those), I will try and get some screen shots for you this week. If you have any questions don't hesitiate to ask, and I will try and answer them the best I can.

does it play video from the video ipod?

Does it come with an installation video for idiots,....if so....THAT EXACTLY WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR.

No, it doesn't do video, I didn't want nor did I need video, but when I said the price difference between the VAIS and this unit, I was comparing it to the VAIS that doesn't do video, so it would be over $200.00 cheaper then the VAIS that does video. It doesn't come with a video to install, but trust me it is very easy, you follow the DIY for the Nav hack on how to get the Nav out and then it's just unplugging one plug from the back of radio, plugging in the cable that comes with the USA SPEC unit and plugging the cable you pulled out of the radio in the cable that come with the unit. I will try and get some screen shots tonight and put them up. You can checkout this link for a little more information and an idea of how the screen looks like (look at the screen for the Gen 5 Navi):

How is the sound quality? any good?

It sounds great, my wife has a 2008 Avalon with a Navi and we really didn't have many choices for her car, because the Avalon has a different Navi from all other Lexus/Toyota's. So for her car we got the Toyota/Lexus IPOD kit and this sounds a 100 times better then that.

Do you happen to have the link for this? Where you bought it.

This sounds good
Im gonna have to put this in my +Fav's

can you check if a glitch exists? put your radio into random mode and skip forward 7 songs by pressing the next track button(pretty fast) on the radio. Seee if the the displayed song on the radio is the same as the ipod.

my installer friend has encountered this error. it goes away as soon as random mode is cancelled.

Hey lexusscguy, I read that the VAIS one also bypasses the "I Agree" screen after about 8 seconds or so... does yours do that also?

As far as I know it doesn't, but I don't have the "I Agreed" screen because I have Data Version 7.1 which only displays a warning screen for 5 seconds.

thats a good price, I will definitely get this if it has video. Vaistech is overpriced IMO.

MLIAISON

Ok I have a stupid question, when you install this....where do you put the "box"? Do you just stuff in behind the Nav Unit with the wires?

And where did you snake the IPOD adapter wire that plugs into the ipod itself?
