I encountered an interesting problem that I haven' heard before. If I connect my blu tooth and try to stream Pandora, I can't hear it or my iPhone. Anyone had this problem? CAn someone try it on their Fly Audio and iPhone and report back. Thank you.

your iphone is prob trying to play pandora via bt. in the pandora window (this applies to ipod as well) there should be a bt sign next to the play ff rw etc buttons. if its blue then its streaming audio via bt, just hit that and choose the source as something else.

My clock is white.

FlyAudio is a nice upgrade, the OEM NAV menus definitely look outdated.

hey guys,

sorry if this was answered but i couldn't find it for the life of me... so i downloaded iGo 8.3.4.102680. I can't seem to get it working. everyone talks about an igo8.exe file, but this doesn't have it. it only has autorun.exe in a folder named 2577. i tried to use that as the path, it said it cannot find the path. i put everything in the same folder and tried again, and it still didn't find the path. i read somewhere else that i should change the "application.dat" file to igo8.exe and use that as the start path, and that doesn't even show up in the nav folder finder. i'm all out of ideas here. did i perhaps download the wrong version? some help would be greatly appreciated. thanks guys!

4. Have you driven on city/highway roads to test the Bluetooth reception and call quality both ways? How was it?

5. Have you found any bugs or stuff you didn't like, thus far

6. Do you know, off the top of your head, what added features this one has over the first generation?

Sorry that I didn't get back to this sooner I'm out on vacation in orlando right now.

1) No SRS light
2) Bluetooth works perfectly, I had to leave the hotel and I called the wife from the car she said that I sounded fine. I called a buddy back in Miami and he said that It sounded fine. The only time that they couldn't hear me so good was when I had the windows down, other than than having the windows down the Bluetooth works great.
3) From what I have been able to play with it does bring in all the contacts, when I had the wife call to check the Bluetooth I could see her number.

Man I have to be honest I know that this is not a Kenwood, or a Pioneer but I'm really loving my FlyAudio nav. One of the best things that I truly love is that it looks just like the OEM piece, it does not look like an aftermarket radio!

In the past with other cars I've always changed the radio to an aftermarket double-din (Kenwood) and I never really like the fact that you could always tell that it was no OEM. In my honest opinion if your a Lexus Is owner, FlyAudio is your ONLY option period, it looks OEM, you have the option of what nav software to use, its has Bluetooth, it came with an iPod cable, it has an USB cable as well.

Plus the fact that I gave my car a good resell point, and bumped up the resale value to boot.

If I could had afforded my IS with OEM navigation I would had gone that way, but I couldn't so the FlyAudio option is just perfect for me.

Well got to get back to the wife and kids, I had to sneak out to be able to write this.

The only thing I want to know is if the new system has a phone book and if it has real time traffic info.

Also, does the FM station you are playing display at the top of the screen constantly? This is one of the worst bugs I have found with the older version.

Btw, congrats on your new navigation system!

Your right I don't the why people even like the GREEN clock lights anyways, it really does remind me of most of my cars (toyota) from the 80's.

Thanks man I'm really loving my new FlyAudio navigation!!

2JZism: From the sound of your post it looks like the unit still only displays the callers phone number but not the name or how ever you have it stored on the phone.

2JZism, do the steering wheel buttons work perfectly?
I checked flyAudio website and I couldnt find any product for IS250 2006. Can we use it on 06 without any modification?

if you are familiar with how to get to the gps launder screen, remove the sd card and turn on the unit, do you mind telling me the text that appears on the top of the screen? A picture is fine too. I just want to know what processor they upgraded to and the ram. Thanks
