Hey i recently got a used 2005 scion tc and a fm transmitter for my zune. it sounds like crap however and i want to know if the stock stereo has the capability to be directly wired in to the zune or anyother advice people with a similar situation can give.

thanks,
Joey

 

You should have an AUX jack in your armrest. All you need is a 1/8" to 1/8" stereo cable from Radio Shack to connect your Zune.

 

still going to sound like crap though, you'll have to turn the volume on the zune to max, really the ipod is the only one that sounds decent in the car

 

It really doesn't sound bad, the ipod sounds better, but the aux in doesn't sound bad.

 

yea, maybe eventually the zune will be able to hook up to the head unit, I'm screwed personally I need the fm modulater thingy to make it work in my car

 

hey i looked in my armrest and all i have in there is a cirgarette lighter jack. so i called circuit city and they said i need to find out if my stereo is capable of hooking up to the zune so im wondering if there is a jack behind the stereo or what

 

Shouldn't be one if it didn't come stock.

 

well since they didn't put the AUX jack into the cars till the 06 year model, you'll need to go ask a dealership but you might be able to buy the plug I dunno

 

Whoops! I missed that.

 

ok but is it possible to plug my zune to the back of my stereo?

 

yea, your probably screwed, just buy a new deck it usually will have everything to hook up an aux jack

 

No. You need a aux. adapter or a new HU. I used to have an aux. adapter on my Stock 'o5 HU but then I sold it to get a brand new HU. The adapter did work great though and the install was less than 45 mins. I love my new Alpine HU because it displays all the info (artist, track and CD name.). The Stock 'o5 HU does NOT do this when you hook it up to an aux. adapter. (Because you're plugging it into the external CD changer port.) I did a DIY a while back on the aux. adapter I purchased. Search and you'll find it or I can PM it to you.
