since it seems a bunch of people are having problems with scion.com and its updates i took a few mins to crop off a pic of each of the 2 new colors, the headunit with and without the IPOD capability, and the new steering wheel....

If the pics aren't coming up right click on the image and click "View Image"

nautical blue



silver metallic



with IPOD capability - 3 dials, middle is SSP


without IPOD capability - 1 dial


steering wheel controls

_______________________________________________________________

Here is the text for the IPOD capability... the text for the HU w/o the capability is the same except the last paragraph isn't included:

iPod Capability $260

For your listening pleasure, we've installed in every tC this 160 watt maximum power Pioneer Stereo with 6 speakers (including 2 tweeters), a 10 color change display, built in Digital Sound Processing (DSP) Sound Equalization, Scion Sound Processing (SSP), satellite radio controls, a MP3 reader with file text display (that's up to 10 hours of playback on one disc) and a universal connector for your MP3 player (you must use your MP3 player’s interface to navigate and play your collection).

Our SSP is a digital sound processing feature that offers three settings: SSP Neutral keeps the music in the background. SSP Hear enhances the sounds with crisp highs and lows. SSP Feel goes all the way, utilizing a sound curve that lets passengers not only hear the music, but feel it, too.

In addition, Pioneer has developed a receiver that easily connects to and navigates through your **iPod. In addition to the standard AM/FM/CD capabilities, this new accessory allows you to safely browse your collection of MP3s without using the iPod interface – just plug it in and let the receiver do the rest. This deck is also compatible with all other MP3 players.

your pics dont work

 

yea sorry bout that.. damn webshots.... i just uploaded them to my gallery on here and all should be well

 

To me, those two colors look even better than the ones they replaced. Maybe its just these images.

I'll have to wait until I see them in person, or someone posts their own images outdoors in sunlight and shade.

 

looks nice

 

I'm glad I bought my IIP before they discontinued it. I like the brighter, bolder colors more. Just my opinion I guess.

 

when they said ipod, does that mean ipod and mini ipod?

 

I really like the nautical blue color. It just looks so much more rich and kinda silky looking.

 

i can't vouch for the "Snuggness" of the ipod, however it sits, but the functions "should" be the same regardless of regular or not.

 

Sweet I think I 'll wait for the 06 since I have a ipod, that is just too cool.

 

*updated with 2 more pics*

 

i feel the same way, btw why the ipod....if our radios have MP3 you can just make a data cd with MP3s and just play them...isnt the ipod connector somthing kinda dumb and defeats the purpose of putting a MP3 cd player inside our cars...damn kids

 

did they change the antenna, and i can't tell the difference between the old colors and the new

 

wow. universal connector with any other mp3 player. I kinda doubt that, how can there be a universal connecter for any mp3. They should just keep it IPOD. oh and that $260, does that mean thats how much the HU will cost? Or thats an addiontal price?

 

MY IIP will be here next week. Glad that I ordered it before the color was replaced.

 

well compare a 700mb CD to a 60 gig iPOD lil bit of a difference... i know i got through mp3 cd's in my current car like water...

 

well, i'm sure what they mean by a "universal connector" is that they'll have a 1/8" mini jack somewhere. so you will be able to use *any* audio device. if you look closely at the pic of the non-ipod unit, you'll see an "AUX" button on he bottom right. that will probably allow you to switch to the jack to play sound.

and based on the press release and the new pics, it looks like the $260 gives you the new HU and also includes the ipod connection.

what i want to see is a pic of where these connections are going and what it looks like...

 

hey i wonder if they are gonna offer a yellow RS1.0 tC or somethin.. im very glad they are still offering the BCP .. and yes i put "i dont see flint mica" my mistake

 

the mini-stereo jack it's gonna have? and i would guess the 260 is the additional price for the option...

 

will we be able to put this new headunit into our 2005 tC's and still have all the functionality?

The new steering wheel also looks cool.
