What IPOD Interface for a UAE Spec Landcruiser with NAV?

[ctrmad]

Hi, I am a long time lurker, but finally registered as I have my first question...

I have a 2008 LC200 here in Dubai, it has the standard Toyota Navigation unit. It does NOT have the AUX input just in front of the gear shift.

I have researched Ipod interfaces and I have found out that the Genuine Toyota Part Number for an IPOD Interface is PT545-00082. (I am looking for full ipod control not just an aux input.)

BUT...the fitting instructions here http://www.trdsparks.com/install/PT545-00082LandCruiser.pdf say that i need a "SAT Ready Head Unit".

On the US models I know there is the AM/SAT button, but here we only get the "AM" button.

To save me ripping the car to bits and buying a kit that may not work, would anyone know if this Toyota part (or any other part) is available so that my UAE LC200 can have an IPOD interface?

Thanks in advance,

Matt

Thnaks for that. I was going to update this today as I subsequently found Vais Tech and they do supply a suitable product.

I have also purchased the Prestigious Society video/nav on the move as well, thinking that if the head unit was going to be taken out anyway it was an opportune time.

So, in the future, if there are any UAE Landcruiser owners who want to see the Vais Tech or Prestigious Society units in action just drop me a message.

I have officially become the UAE dealer for Vais Technology and Prestigious Society. I hope to be registered on IH8MUD soon as a vendor so that I may offer the products through the official club channels.
