I have been searching on SL for 45mins to try and find out what type of adaptor I need to for my Ipod (New one) in my car. I have an 06 tc. I have looked on scion.com and apple to find the part I need but unfortunately I dont have a clue to what I am looking for! So before I rip the rest of my hair out. I was hoping someone could show me the way. Mabe a pic?

Thanks

 

looking myself, thought i found what i was looking for but get a ipod communication error popup!

i have the shuffle and not the nano so it makes a difference which one you are starting with..........


do you have the ipod jack in the center consol?

if yes do you have the cable that comes with the upgraded radio that fits into the ipod addapter!

 

if you dont have the ipod upgraded radio you will need a stereo 1/8" chord that you can purchase for $5 from radion shack to hook into your headphone jack and the other end to the aux jack. the quality is not too bad but if you crank it you will hear a little static.

 

Did you get the iPod-compatible stereo option, or not?
If yes, the cable is in your glovebox.
If not, it will now cost you ~$500 to get it installed.

I have the ipod upgraded stereo, went an got the belkin adapter, but i am now getting a ipod comm. error, now i need to find out how to reboot the ipod.. oh for the love of scion!

 

Why did you get the Belkin? The adapter provided is fine???
Anyway, depending on the iPod, you reset different ways.
Follow this to reset:

I have the new Video one. Yes IPod-compatible stereo. Ill look in the box. Thanks!!!

 

Not in the box. I guess I will be calling the dealership so I can get one. Thanks though Scott.

Hey, you wouldnt mind takeing a pic of the cable so i know what it looks like could you?

 

The cable is Black. I don't have my Nikon - my wife took it this morning...
It's the standard Apple Dock connector on one end, and the Square Plug on the other - about 1"x1/2".
Mine was in the glove box - did you look there?
I have the plastic bag with the part # - I will go get that info...

Sorry but i do not have the IPod HU. I went to the dealer yesterday and they informed me what HU i had. Im alittle ____ed since i thought i was getting the IPod HU. I was not able to pick my car up when i bought it because i was at work. I sent my mother down with a list of option that i wanted. They told her that they sold all the 06 with the Ipod Hu, which they were wrong since i dont HAVE ONE!!!!!! Thanks for all the help thought. Im just going to buy an audio cable for the time being.

 

Bummer. That's why you don't have the cable...

Does anyone have an idea where I can get a new iPod connector cable for the iPod-ready '06 xA? The one that came with the car is WAY too long and I'd like just a short dumpy one, that will not interfere with the E-brake when I have the ipod connected and laying next to the brake. I've searched many posts on here and noone discusses this, and I can't seem to find a cable with the correct ends online anywhere.

Thanks for any help or even suggestions as to where I might go to get one (even if I have to have it custom-made).

Why do you have the iPod outside of the console?
You can't control the iPod when it's connected...

Scott

 

I have a Eclipse CD 8445 HU and wondering if anyone know if theres a IPOD cable for the type of aftermarket head unit to where i can control the ipod through the HU? AnyOne??

 

try retailipods, or ipod.com or even local ipod store

 

Thankz for the info....but i have checked and i was talking about having an ipod interface for the Eclipse CD8445 HU made for it in order to control the ipod from the HU. LIke the ones for Ponieer, Alpine, etc....

 

the iPod only sits in the center console for the tC. on the xB and xA it sits in a hole in the center area that the xBs and xAs have. a long cord would get in the way for them.

i actually found a pic of that area! kinda small but you see whats going on there.


the cord for the tC isnt long at all, and its the same connectors, prolly what the guy is looking for.

 

Why not just buy an ipod interface? You can pick up one for pretty cheap and hook right up to the HU. Looks up "pioneer ipod interface" on ebay and check em out.
