Default What Ipod integration unit to use for my 06 with no nav?

What is the BEST solution for Ipod integration in my 2006 RX400h with NO nav?

The Dice? The Vaistech? An OEM solution?

I searched but most people have NAV.

Try USA SPEC, It works perfect in my RX 330 04 no nav. And, cheap!

First off it's not cheap. It's $140.

Second you can't browse by artist or album. ONLY playlist like the Vais.

With the Dice you CAN browse through album and artist. The Dice is also $140.

The Dice wins hands down.

Finsx relax dude. Heraldo is trying to help you. If you know the DICE is the best why bother asking for help.

Anyway I have heard that the dice has lock up issues

Sugar,

sounds like he is trying to promote something for his own profit. He posted the same thing in multiple threads.

ALSO, I did research AFTER I made the initial post. Furthermore I think the Dice bugs have been worked out in the latest silverline model.

I will get it and report back.

I have heard of one called by Peripheral and from looking at the specs it looked great. You can connect to your Ipod, browse by playlist, artist, song etc. and you can even buy an HD Radio adapter to plug in as well. And it is pretty cheap too. : 134 for the HD Radio adapter and the Ipod connector. (edit: it is 134 for the Ipod connector central unit, which plugs in to the HD Radio adapter which is included in the link below, a pretty good deal, if you ask me since it is almost identical to Dice but has HD Radio functionality as well)

I saw a review for the highlander and it was pretty positive. I have no personal experience so sorry I can't give you more info.

I remember when members actually put a little effort into research before they barfed out a post. And when the question was so subjective as to invite opinion, ask for clarifications or accepted responses for what they were instead of rebutting and making accusations.

I have been using the peripheral unit for about 3 weeks and it works really well on a 07 RX350 with Nav both with iPhone 3G(will not charge it though) and also MP3 player with a AUX input. My friend has it a non-nav RX350 and he is also very happy with it. Not sure about RX400 though.
