there is a specific cable that comes with the scion to plug into that IPOD connector in the console.. you can use a standard 3.5mm jack cable to go into the aux spot though..

yes the radio CAN do that.. it's an option.. read the manual *if you have one* and go into the options mean you to turn "asl" off .. if you don't have a manual play around with the buttons until you find the menu

You should be able to control the ipod through your radio instead of changing song with the ipod itself. Not sure if the OEM charges it but my Pioneer aftermarket one does for my touchscreen.

it will not charge the newer iPods or the newer iPhone that charge only by USB.

the cable should have come with the car... and the ASL feature is well.. a feature.

No no no. There is an accessory you can buy to attach onto the end of the iPod cable that comes with the Scion xB. I bought it and it lets me charge my Nano while listening to it in the car.

Here's what you want:

http://www.scosche.com/products/productID/1667

The Scosche adapter plugs into the standard iPod cable which then plugs into your newer iPod/iPhone. Never had any problems with it whatsoever and it works fantastic. I bought mine on eBay for the same price, but they might have it somewhere else cheaper.

Oh and as for the ASL feature (which I use in my car), simply hit your Menu Button. Then go into Audio. Then scroll over until you reach the ASL tab and then put the setting on either LOW or OFF.
