Never received any response to the multimedia hack
Just had the ipod integration kit put in the IS250 and it sucks. The Lexus implementation on their multimedia unit is pants and the software unpredictable. I'm waiting for my customer satisfaction call when I'll ask to have it taken out or get the software fixed.
I would not recommend it to anyone.

Hi All, Would like to apply the hack to my 07 plated IS250

Can someone advise where the [de]/instructions are for the procedure - I can't seem to get any of the links to work.
Has anyone tried this on an 07 UK IS250 so far as the posts I'm reading seem quite old.
RDS-TMC - Seem to get very little from this when I'm driving into all those traffic jams. I've got it setup and it gets the CLASSIC FM signal. Any advice? OK, so I live on the South Coast, but we have our fair share of traffic problems.

Lexuscare Ipod Integration Kit

I had the kit fitted day before yesterday for my ipod Touch. very dissapointed that all you get is a metre of cable sticking out the glove box and not even a means of securing your ipod - all looks very shoddy.
Software appears unreliable (using multimedia). Track names were not appearing and steering wheel controls froze at one point. noticed navigation reminders were not being given unless on the map screen either. I did reload my user from memory and this seems to have improved things (let say its been doing what it shoudl for the last hour or so!)
Lexus are missing out on giving their customers an innovative implementation of this integration kit; apple give them all the data down the cable but at the other end its quite uninspiring. All it is is a cable stuck in the back of the external CD player plug in the MM unit.
If i get any problems tomorrow I'll be asking them to fix the software or take the whole thing out because of merchantable quality. My 9 year old could have done a better job of the install too
Any anicdotes on the software? Dealerships seem to shrug their shoulders when you mention software problems!
