I have been doing lots of reading and searching... but still am confused. I see your link to the Peripheral Electronics and realize this gives you the ability to run the XM and also the Ipod Aux. out. But on Peripheral's website, under "Compatibility Notes", it specifically mentions that your vehicle needs to be equipped with a "AM/Sat" button. My 2000 LX 470 (with Nakamichi/in dash CD changer) does not have that button, nor does their website list compatibility.
I was a little surprised that I did not find a FAQ (and quite possibly I missed it).
I did some reading after searching and some have lost the ability to use their CD changer. It would be great to compile this info all together into one thread and create a FAQ. Could we use this thread to come up with some specific year info for 100 series LC's and LX 470's? If this isn't appropriate or if this has been covered, just let me know... but it would be nice to organize this for future mudders (and those of us who are currently looking for a solution).... so here goes-
If you have added sat. radio or ipod aux input (or both) please post up-
*What was your intent (ipod, sat radio, DVD, GPS, etc)?
*What are you using (brand, model number [important, as links will die], and link)?
*What is your vehicle info (and would this work on other years)?
*When did you purchase the equipment (to give an idea of longevity of the product) and where did you purchase?
*Have you been able to keep your factory settings or have you had to alter or lose factory options?
Thanks!
neither. bought & installed vehichle specific USA Spec aux adapters for aftermarket Sirius/Ipod (3) in '01 4R, (2) in a '06 Avalon & (1) in an '07 4R. One failed under the 12 month warranty, all the rest right around 13-14 months. At ~$100 a pop they don't get my $$ anymore. Perepheral has lasted 2yrs in Avalon and 3 yrs in '07 4R and still going strong. Just installed Soundgate in a Nissan Pathfinder as no Perepheral for the application and so far, so good.
Link for Perepheral in above post.
