iPhone thru Nav on '08 TL - ISO Bluetooth w/o Remote

HeldUp · 12-04-12, 12:44 AM

I've searched all over here but haven't found any recent posts regarding the '08 TL w/ Nav. Looking for a device which plays my iPhone 5 through the navigation screen and steering wheel. Bluetooth is preferred though not required. I DO NOT want the AutoToys unit with the IR remote (even though the display is REALLY cool) as having a remote kind of defeats the purpose of hands free.

Here are three that I'm considering:

• USA SPEC PA15-ACUxl

• Dice Media Bridge AMBR-1500-HON

• PAC ISHD571

Is there something else that does what I'm looking for but is not listed above? Again, it would be really nice if it simulated the iPhone interface but without having to use an IR remote.

Thanks!

You can't go wrong with the iSimple, USA-Spec, PIE X3, or DICE.

Those will integrate your ipod into the TL's radio and you'll be able to control everything through your steering wheel, or radio.

The song title and such will display in the navigation.

I have an iSimple and LOVE IT!!!

Is your iSimple bluetooth or hard wired?

Apple does not allow its devices to output the nav or its "extend" its display.

It sure would be nice if they did...

That's not true (to a certain extent).

All you need is a video interface device (DOms nav2go) and a audio interface device (iSimple, dice, etc) and you can watch videos on your nav!

If you're talking about porting the iphone interface to the nav screen, you're right; no way to do it.

That is very cool. I'll have to check out the Doms Nav2Go. Has anyone had any experience with the AMBR-1500-HON?

It's a relatively new Dice product, but seems good.
