Have a look at their instruction manual. There are some screen shots in there.

In short, the answer to your questions is "Yes" - you can scroll by album, artist, playlist on the touch-screen. But just like the standard Lexus CD changer, a lot of the options grey out once the vehicle is moving.

Thanks.

But actually, radio and CD only show information on the small LCD screen.

There is nothing form stereo on the NAV screen (only nav, calendar, climate, trip....)

The thing that I hope is to get information on nav screen but with what I've read and understand, as I haven't got information on nav screen with Lexus stereo, Vais or PXAMG will only show info on own stereo lcd.

Have a look at page 11 of that instruction manual. The info is all there on the nav screen (I have a Vais Soundlinq 2i-Up).

Yes but it's write that it's for 5th generation Nav.
I didn't know which generation I have.

It's also write that it's for radio integrated into navigation sytem or actually I haven't got any radio info on nav screen, only on the little black and white LCD on headunit.

Do you have a "Audio" button on your nav unit?

NO.

How can I know which nav generation I have?

Without audio button, is it possible to have ipod info on nav screen?

Can you post a pic of your vehicle? It may help members to determine which one it is.

Actually, I haven't got any stereo info on nav screen and no audio button.

All stereo infos are on the small LCD screen on headunit (6CD, K7, text button)

Thanks.

Default Instructions work well for VML

I followed the original instructions in this thread to install the MultiMediaLinQ VML. It worked like a charm. I had to use the 3rd emulation mode (CD-MP3) in my 2007 RX400h. I even fit (snugly) the VML vertically inside the passenger panel (I think it may bulge slightly, but hard to tell). The USB cable that came with it is tucked behind the bottom of the panel to sit in the middle tray.

Thank you for the clear instructions and photos.

Any pics of the rear tailgate (should show the model) and a close up of the Nav screen.

Looks like an RX330 by the wheels but hard to tell as some RX350's had these as well (mine for instance)

@titine54

I have the same RX I believe. It's a Gen 4 Nav system which does not allow for audio integration. Basically, you will only get music information through the LCD screen.
