'09 brochure shows iPod interface cable....

Really? Cause I've seen many RXh owners getting the VAIS-unit to get iPod control. Did you buy new or used?

I just saw a friend's new '08 Rxh. I looked in the glove compartment and there it was, an IPOD cable. They said it came that way. It looked like factory stuff. The website for Lexus does say: Interface kit for iPod® as an option ($299).

I plugged my IPOD in and it worked.

well there you go, it's a $299 option (not that VAIS is any cheaper). Sorka was asking if it was standard.

Give the guy a break guys, he's not saying he has the interface, he's just saying he saw it in the brochure.

The answer is yes, Toyota/Lexus has an iPod kit now, I drove a new Lexus GS350 a few weeks ago that had it. Its a dealer add on kit like the XM or Sirius kits. The Lexus dealer wanted $900 for it on top of $900 for the Sirius kit the car also had which is a complete joke, I'm sure pricing depends on the dealer.

The kit works really well.
