Ok so I have the most recent 64gb ipod touch and other than using it to have the awesome interface pretty much leave it in the car and never use it for anything else. Does the iPad2 work with this interface the same way as the ipod touch 4g does cause if so I plan to sell my ipod and get an ipad2 instead.

^ Yes. I bought a 64GB iPod touch as well for exclusive use in my car with ML+. Too lazy to plug and unplug my phone all the time.

iPad will work with ML Plus the same way, but ML Plus won't charge it.

Thanks for the update. I'll keep checking, can't wait for it to be available.

this just in....



VAIS Technology has upgraded its car kit to enable Pandora control from most factory Toyota and Lexus radio/navigation systems.

The company’s ML+ iPod/iPhone kit lets you use the touch screen controls on the factory radio to control Pandora on an iPhone. You also get thumbs up/thumbs down touch screen controls.

The kit provides iPod Out and iPod Video Out so that the radio screen displays a near identical user interface to that of an iPod, and it lets you play movies, video and audio from an iOS device on the radio screen.

The ML+ kit also allows you to add a flash drive and other devices to the radio.

The $500 kit connects directly into the automobile’s bus system to simplify installation. It was first introduced with iPod Out in December followed by an upgrade for Pandora control last month.

Seems like there are more than a few of us with LS460s waiting for them to work this out, but the focus seems to be updates for the new models instead. I just PM'd VaisTech about the new firmware and if this was included before seeing these posts. It would be nice if they would provide an issues list which indicated priority for I'm hoping for some good news soon; I would think they would like to have our $$$s too.

I just bought a ct200h and I confirmed with VAIStech that it was compatible.

SO.. are there any ct owners out there that have installed this? Where did you decide to put the unit? The ct isn't the biggest car out there and I'm a bit concerned about it fitting in the car without it being an eyesore..

Also, does this work with the PS navi bypass? Will the PS navi bypass work on the ct?

Lastly... anyone know a place in socal where I can get this done?

Thanks..

congrats on your new car

yes the ps override works on ct just fine. they have some installers around they can recommend, just email chung@prestigioussociety.com for more info.

the ct is definitely tight, it's still possible to find some place to hide the ml+. not a fun car to work with for sure coz' of the size

There is going to be no problem running ML Plus and PS kit at the same time.

Can someone confirm that if the ML+ unit would work on a 2008 ISF with backup camera? About to purchase one but find a post here mentioned about it not working on IS with backup camera. Thanks.

There are no problems with ML Plus and ISF.
