I had the XM Vais adaptor with direct recharging IPOD hook up linked right into my navigation screen so it shows artist, title and if you are into sports, all sports scores are updated almost instaneaneously.
if you contact vais by email, they will locate the nearest dealer to get it installed. works perfectly. about $500 for the unit ($300) and installation (~$200). easily the best investment i made in the car.

I was messing around in the diagnostic screen the other day and from what I remember the version reported actually said Denso 6.05.xxxx something or other.
I have a 2007 400h, which has enough features to require an owners manual the size of a Chicago phone directory.
Even with all that wonderful information, it is a serious shortcoming on the part of Lexus to not have this vehicle equiped to play an ipod. Most other Lexus models do, but for some strange reason, not the 400h.
This vehicle does allow one to play an MP3, but (and here comes my ignorance on the subject), I cannot figure out what I need to do to listen to my favorite tunes as they are now just on my ipod.
Do I need to buy a separate MP3 player different from my ipod? Do I record from my ipod to a CD and play that? What is the best thing to do?
I tried to get an answer from the Lexus sale person, but she got a look of abject horror on her face, muttered something about "technology" and headed for the break room. I know - I should have stalked her, and forced her to divulge the correct answer - but I am not that kind of guy.
Any help will be most appreciated.

My dealer sells an Ipod integration kit made by Vais Technology (http://www.vaistech.com/) for quite a few hundred dollars. I just wanted an MP3 player, and this was a little much, but the Vaistech system fully integrates into the Levinson stereo and is supposed to let you control the ipod using the same controls as the rest of audio system. I have no first-hand knowledge, but that's all that I know about.
Consider me one pissed off customer.G
This is a brand new RX400H! I am bringing it in to the shop, but it takes 3 weeks to get in. This is another issue at the manager's side of the dealership- I expected a lot better for Lexus and customer service.
Has anyone encountered this sound issue?
Does any one know if it's possible to transfer the data in the old car's nav to the new car's nav system? I got hundreds of POI & addresses I like to keep.

Contacting Lexus (the local dealer and then the California HQ) gave no satisfaction. Each Lexus rep said that the GPS couldn't change. Each offered a GPS upgrade for $300.
Has anyone else had this problem?
P.S. The only other thing that has changed is I declined to renew the Sirius subscription that has been free up to now.
