Hi all , i have fitted a xcarlink interface to my ls460 to pair up with a ipod classic 160gb , i nave a good engineering background so installing these things correctly isnt a problem . On completion the ipod got hot quickly and was trying to reboot itself constantly and there was no display,The ipod still works well in its house or garage dock . i spoke to the guys at xcarlink and they suggested that it was a ipod problem, so i used my sons ipod touch, this played music but with no display and a constant background interference ,( to me this suggest that the unit is not suppressed or it is picking up an electrical field from the car wiring harness, a routing problem) .The guys at carlink have been as helpful as possible over the phone but i am removing and returning their unit tomorrow.
In my previous ls430 i installed a Viastech unit which worked well if all the music was in playlists.
Can anyone of you helpful people suggest another piece of kit which will allow full use of all controls ,keep the cd working and allow me to enjoy the brilliant Mark Levison system,
I am going to email viastech and see what they suggest for the 460 ,
Many thanks
Take care
Keith
