Vais Tech Question

chickenslut · February 22, 2010

Hi all. I have an 07 RX350 with Nav, no Marc Levinson. I want to surprise my wife and get some sort of iPod integration installed (or DYI install really) but while almost everyone universally recommends VAIStech.com I am having a hard time figuring out which one is right for us. We both have iPod Touches (1st and 2nd Gen models of those) and I'll likely be getting an iPhone sooner than later.

I am torn between the SLV2i and the VML and the price difference is negligible. According to this chart: http://www.vaistech.com/products/product_comparison.php

both should work fine for me.

Has anyone installed these on their 07-09 RX?

How was the functionality?

Is it locked out while driving like the other stuff put forth by Lexus? Would I still need to do the lockout override lockpick device/method?

If you installed the VML where did you mount it? Under the head unit?

Also where did you put the USB plug for easy access?

Thanks in advance for any help guys. I am very comfortable taking stuff apart but just want to have a clearer picture before I go nuts and tear apart my dash.
