This topic has been posted before by another member, but I thought I might give it another go, as I really want to be able to play music through my iphone and have control through the steering wheel control buttons, so that I can drive without having to change songs manually through my i phone. Previous posts state that third party units will not work with this model, and I have confirmed this with VIAS Tech and icarkit.com in the USA. Does anyone have any ideas?
My recently purchased RX350 Luxury Sports is a third generation model, 5th Generation Satnav.
Has AUX adapter, this will play songs from my Iphone, but will not see songs through the nav system or have control through the steering buttons. A USB plug in would also be nice to charge the phone.
Seeking any method of integrating the iphone, either through bluetooth or USB.
Options might be, replace the stereo with a new model which has USB (Lexus dealer said it could not be done) or replace AUX point with a USB, not sure if this is possible. Unfortunately it seems a third party device will not work.
Any suggestions? I won't give up on this one......
Also, I removed the stereo so that I could send a photo of the unit to the USA, now the manual controls are not working, and I have to program the stereo from the computer. Any tricks to fixing this?
