Well I found my answer after digging in the Owners site finding the accessories chart. Here is a screen capture: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3225/280933...365d95f.jpg?v=0 Look at 2nd to last footnote. Who knows maybe there will be a reverse compatible solution in the future short of an entire NAV system replacement with an extra iPod/MP2 device or a HDD to download the iPOD tunes and sync. (Check out GM - CTS) Disappointed, I would have expected more from Lexus/Toyota R&D folks. Maybe LexTech has some insight. Fortunately I am not an iPOD freak but it would have been nice and to be locked out of an option like this because one has chosen SAT radio is a bit bizzare. Guess I will just be relegated to the AUX audio input and jack up the ML volume :(

ditto --- ru serious regarding: "The factory ipod kit will not let you use sat radio as well." wow! I have to check this on their website new car configuration. I have a 2008 ES350 - ML Nav - UltraLux package --- using Sirius SAT and you mean to say that the factory OEM iPod Control accessory is not compatible with the SAT !! That's a major disappointment if true and frankly when I asked the dealer if I could have them add the OEM iPod option in a few months he did NOT give me a negative response. Not that I would have taken the SAT out but really !!!! Sometimes the Japanese car makers, for all their innovation can still leave you scratching your head saying WTF ? !

Hello... I was wondering if there was a site (Lexus or otherwise) that upon entering a VIN# the SPECIFIC options and codes (like UL, Z1 etc...) would reveal themselves. I would like to in effect check the sticker on a new car's window by VIN# without actually going to the dealer to see it. Thanks for any assistance... Stu
