When installing the unit in this location, did you place any insulating material behind the unit or do anything else special? Are there any other suggested installation spots where heat wouldn't be an issue? Any thoughts would really be appreciated. Thank you.
I have mine in the same place on my LS460, no issues yet since install many moons ago.

I just bought the ml+ and am reading the instructions. Did you have to do the programming on the unit or did you just plug and play and start using it? Thanks

i just did the update which is awesome, im able to stream pandora using an ipod touch and tethering wifi off my Samsung Galaxy Android phone. Works flawless. Two questions: did anyone notice the cover art on the ipod stretch vertically again? Mine was fixed prior. 2nd how do I switch back from the rear camera. Im going to re-activate my netflix account just so I can stream...pretty excited. Great Job Vais Technology! This has been my favorite mod...wish it was available for my SC430!

Thanks. I'm about to get started. I have a 2007 gs with back up cam and ML. Do I program MLP 10 or 12?

Update: got everything installed... Except I can't seem to fit the unit in the passenger footwell. I tried to cram it in and i can't put the side piece in if I do that. Anyone got pics on ow they did theirs?

You have to program your unit for CD-MP3 emulation under MLP-10 steps.

Thanks guys. I got it installed and everything put back together. I did install it in the passenger side footwell and after some manhandling, everything looks fine. I do have a question though... everything seems to work fine except Pandora. When I hit the Pandora button on the Nav screen, it tells me to turn on Pandora on my Iphone... and when I do, all I get is a "Pandora Accessory" message on my iphone and a message to the effect of "waiting for source" on the Nav screen. Anyone else experience this issue?

I have this issue from time to time. i just unconnect the iphone and reconnect it and it seems to work. Other times I've had to power my iphone on/off.

How long does it say "waiting for source"? Please make sure to have your Pandora app updated to the latest software revision from Pandora.

It just stays like that... I assume someting is not working and click out of it after a while. I also deleted the Pandora APP from my iphone over the weekend and redownloaded it and the problem still persists

Has anyone with a 2IS come up with a good place to install the unit yet? Mine is still sitting underneath the carpet by the passenger's feet. The bulge and the way it messes the carpet up annoys me.

I'm also looking for a good spot to install the ML+ on the 2IS. Planning on installing this weekend so any help would be appreciated.
