Video and Audio I-Pod Integration Adaptor For Lexus & Toyota Sound System and Factory Car Radio

The I-Pod Integration (SLI) adapter (and Video Ipod adaptor) allows  direct audio input to your factory Lexus and Toyota head unit with direct Lexus I-Pod Integration on the SC430Apple® iPod™ control and is suitable for the Lexus SC430, Lexus RX300, Lexus RX400, Lexus GS430, Lexus IS300, Lexus LS430, and Toyota Landcruiser. No more do you have to rely on poor quality audio from FM audio modulators, or misplacing your I-Trip, both of which rely on a clear FM radio channel (hard to find in the City) to gain some form of decent audio quality.

The Adaptor has one universal audio Auxiliary input (uncontrolled source) and one audio input dedicated to integrate your Apple® iPod™ (3G/4G/mini/Photo,Nano and Video) directly into Toyota/Lexus OEM audio system (controlled source). AUX in works with vehicle that have a 'scan' button.

Toyota _I-pod Integration for the LandcruiserYou can now listen and control your iPod™ through the vehicle's head unit and audio steering wheel controls. No more Cassette Adaptors, FM Transmitters, or Cigarette Lighter Chargers. Enjoy the clear, genuine high quality sound through your factory audio system.


The I-Pod Integration adapter provides direct Plug-and-Play connection to Toyota/Lexus OEM audio system and supports vehicles with and without Navigation system.


The unique technology employed allows you to keep all factory installed components (such as 6-disc CD changer, CD/DVD changer). When you connect the SLI adapter to the audio system, Toyota/Lexus recognizes the SLI as an additional CD or MD changer.

The SLI adaptor can be set-up in CD changer emulation mode or MD changer emulation mode. We suggest to use MD changer mode ONLY if your Radio supports MiniDisc changer with MD-TEXT, otherwise MD CHANGER mode is useless. Playlist Title, Song Title, Artist Name and Album name information can be displayed on the Radio LCD or Navigation screen ONLY if Radio Receiver supports MD changer with MD-Text or CD changer with CD-Text.

Audio 'AUX' Input is a universal auxiliary input and it enables you to connect an uncontrolled  aftermarket Audio equipment such as a DAB Radio Receiver, MP3 player, MiniDisc player/changer and etc. This source provides NO control over added aftermarket equipment. Added equipment operates through the factory Audio system and can only be controlled by its own controls.

The example on the right shows show DAB Digital Radio in a Lexus SC430 connected via the SLI, where the DAB Radio is connected to the 'uncontrolled' input, and an Apple® iPod™ is connected to the Apple® iPod™ controlled input. The DAB Digital Radio (and DVB-T Digital TV) adaptor is exclusive to LG Technologies.
 

Ipod adaptor for incar use

Audio input dedicated for Apple® iPod™ can only be used for iPod™ integration. Control of iPod™ is done through your head unit or the steering wheel controls. SLI supports both third and fourth generation of iPod™ and iPod™ Mini.
To switch between the SLIsources you need to use "DISC" or "CD" button on the head unit (Diagram below assumes factory CD changer is present).
If your vehicle is equipped with a factory steering wheel control you will be able to switch between the SLI sources using "MODE" button on the steering wheel.
