Looks like a nice dock with a line out and charges the iPod. There are a few of these flexible dock holders out there (mostly with an FM transmitter), but none with such a clean look and decent connection. I might pick up one of these to replace my Belkin Tundok cup holder thing. And the way the tC's lighter socket is, it would be a good place to plug that in and just run a wire right back into the cubby hole and up to the radio.

Did you get this and install it? Got any pics? I'd be on it in a second if there was a non-PIMA way to wire the 3.5mm plug up inside the cubby.. .and it didn't look like junk.

^^ I think that it "should" but often the OEM Scion radios don't have all the same connections as a regular Pioneer receiver. You should probably verify with the company that it will work with the OEM Scion radios first.

I have the iPod stereo on my 06 and i like it, but the only thing is i have over 1000 songs and it takes forever to pick a song because the scrolling goes so slow, is there a faster way to scroll through the artist/song/etc. or am i out of luck?

Tylerwashere- I feel ya about scrolling thru your 1000 songs faster...its almost like I wish the stereo had a small remote control, so I dont have to sit there scrolling there for a million years to get to a song when I'm on the freeway trying to pay attention. I got the damn stereo thinking it would be safer than having to operate my iPod by hand thru the AUX port...turns out I could do THAT faster! Oh well, at least it looks nice!

2005 Option 3. The Pioneer Car Deck Interface adapter link if outdated. Here's the one from price grabber.

WhiteWolf:
There are no RCA jacks in the rear of the head unit. If you have the 06, what you could do is run a wire under your center console/armrest that would connect to that dock and also the jack in the armrest. You would possibly have to drill a small hole in the bottom of the cubby, but it would be much nicer than running a wire on top of everything.

Ok, having a stereo with audio/video inputs (avn 5435), I read I can just use a A/V Cable and play my music through this...When you do this, does it just leave the screen blank? I dont mind if so because I can just have the nav map on while the music plays. I just want a temp fix to play my ipod through my car for now thats cheap...
I seen a few on ebay that were pretty cheap, or apples is $20. Eventually I want to do the DLO Deluxe dock like IceNine, but not until I have time to make something custom like him...
Do the A/V Cables produce clear sound? I dont really want one of those FM transmitters as I always have problems and hear a buzz w/ them, and its not clear...

Same happens to me too. That's the downfall of it. You can'st scroll through the songs in alphabetical order at all. But the other options work fine...its just the 'Songs' area that doesn't work as it should.
