ok so i have a 2005 scion tc with a factory HU with no ipod connection. i am looking into buying an 07 HU which has this connection :


since i have the 05 scion i dont have the connector in the armrest.
sooo which cable do i need to buy from toyota to be able to hook up the ipod. the one that connects into the armrest is this one:

but i have nothing in the armrest soooo....

what is the one that plugs into the hole in the first pic to which lu later connect the cable in the second pic ???

 

35 views and not one respone ?

 

Its hard to tell from the pic, but the right side of the plug 'almost' looks like it could plug directly into the iPod.

If not, swing by your dealership. Not many of us have access to look up part numbers.

 

even if you get the 07 head unit you will still need the wiring that would go from the head unit to the armrest connection and then the piece that you have pictured. Not sure if you can buy all that. Oh yeah and you would need that piece that is normally mounted in the armrest console. Good luck

 

thats what im asking what wire is that, the one that goes from the head unit to the armrest? is there like a part number whats it look like even ?

 

I don't have a clue on the part number....best guess would be to call the dealer

 

Why don't you just buy an aftermarket head unit with an Ipod adapter on it.

 

I have an 07 HU wiith ipod capabilities for sale if interested.

 

There are three harness parts in the "Ipod ready" TCs. One section is part of the stock harness. It has a plug at the HU end and another one that stops under the console next to the shifter.

The second part connects to the plug on harness one under the console and then has the Ipod port that mounts in the armrest.

The third part is the the one you have and connects to the port and then to the Ipod.

There is a person on ebay that sells the first part of the harness that connects to the HU. Do a search for SC12234 but right now he does not have any listed. If you got this you would still need the short harness with the Ipod port on it. I dont know if he sells it but you could get it at the dealer.

He sells another cable, which is SC12235, that connects directly to the HU and then to the Ipod, It would run under the console and you would have to make a hole to run the Ipod end through and let it just lay in the armrest.

If you happen to have the first part of the harness present in your stock harness then all you need is the short second part, that has the port on it. You can probably get it at the dealer.
