ipod hookup? how or explain
I test drove one the other day and looked at the ipod connection port. It had a bunch of exposed pins. I didn't really get how the ipod connected to this, is there a cable that you get that goes into this and then gives you a standard ipod dock connection?
Could someone explain or show pictures?
Thanks,
Mike

cool. thanks so much! I sort of figured that's how it worked, just wasn't clear and I couldn't find a manual or anything in the car when I was poking around in it.
What radio did you get and what do you think of the ipod integration? Is it nice?

thanks! The one I test drove had no radio. So I couldn't even tell what the sounds was like. Kinda weird. Little bummed too...I wanted to play with all that and hear it.

just got mine last night and a couple things about the ipod adapter and stereo. I have the base system
1. way to go Scion making it stock on all models and giving you the cable
2. Great interface for oem stereo. My ridglinbe you had to buy an adapter and it was crap
3. the interface location stinks. I would have preffered in the glove box or center console. it is very awkward where it is located.
4. The stereo sounds horrible, but that will change soon. I think I wil try and pick up a premium from someone and add some amps

Hate to bring this back from the dead, but I did not get a cable with my car, at least not that I've seen. Reason Im researching is Im fixing to buy a new ipod and wanna run the songs in my xB2.
Any advice?

Unless the 2010's are different mine just has a auxillary jack and a usb port on the center console, I just plug the ipod usb cord into the usb port.

Got the cable in from eBay, and hooked up the Classic 160gb too. Man, it works great, I love it, and am kicking myself in the ****. I just wish the iPod would turn itself off when the car does.
