i still see the flint mica in the color options on the site...

 

my bad .. i thought they were missin the color .. heard it from somewhere they were deleting a color

 

well, the official word from scion is that they will NOT be backwards compatible, but that's probably cos they will have a different wiring harness due to the steering wheel controls and new audio/ipod inputs.

if you wanted the new head unit, i'm sure you could retrofit it with 2005 as long as you know what wires do what, but again, scion will never officially support any kind of "retrofitting".

 

im not sure what im gonna get, i like iriver mp3 players because they play alot of formats :T, but sigh T__T

 

so does anyone think this new blue is darker/lighter/same as the old one? i can't tell a difference

 

i think it's darker.. more muted, not as bright..

 

well 06 tc would have bee useless for me then. I changed my head unit, i have a remote and the azure pearl still exist. Oh and i dont have a ipod. Apparently they read these forums by putting alot of people request for these gadgets. I just hope they fixed the paint before they did anything else.

 

agreed, iip is nicer, imo.

 

the IIP does look nice...but we haven't seen the Nautical Blue in person yet. Scion.com and toyota websites in general tend to replicate their colors very badly on their websites..

and since i have an iPod ... :D :D

 

i didnt know u had to listen to hours worth of music when u drive day to day

 

NB is sweet.

 

it's really hard to tell the difference between the new blue/silver from the old b/ue/silver by these animated pics. IMO i think you have to see it in person or to see actual pics of the new colors before you make a judgement.

 

That's just a retarded and ignorant post.

Why don't you stick to your conventional 74min CD then, cause I'm sure with your outlook on it, you don't have any MP3 CDs with "hours worth" of music.

 

correct. what i was gonna say.

 

lol, retarded and ignorant post???wow saying that shows the level of your maturity... my post was a scarcastic post but it wasnt meant as a insult it was meant as in a lot us really dont need hours of music on our day to day basis.... to get a response like that was uncalled for, but hey your from new york so its expected...haha (that me droping down to your level)

 

I can't wait until people start owning both "new" colors and post some pics next to their replaced colors.

 

i like the new audio system :D

 

hey, does anyone know if they will be selling the iPod-ready head unit at the dealers? It's freakin sweet and it's really a pain in the ___ driving around and trying to mess with my iPod dials at the same time.. plus I need radio *****

 

i personally hope that with the new HU, that you can still control the ipod from the ipod itself. Like going thru playlits. It'd be a real pain to go thru playlists thru the HU.

 

Hey Smash

We WILL be selling the HU through the dealerships, but I don't think that you'll want to pay for it. Typically, it will cost around $600 (or more) to purchase the stock HU. Unless you can find a Scion parts person sympathetic to your cause, you'll be spending more than $500 (cost) on a Scion HU. If you can give up the *****, go with Peripheral Electronic's iPod2Car setup. For under $200, you can control your iPod with the stock Scion HU,m and charge it, too.

We are going to offer the Peripheral piece through my dealership soon to all of my previous customers so we don't have a riot.
