Default Using the Ipod on a Scion

I'll be getting a Scion soon and while I was in my friend's Scion and noticed that his can be controlled through the stereo system. Which is cool, but then when I wanted to search for a song, I couldn't do it on the Ipod, and scrolling through the stereo would take forever. Is there a way I can control the Ipod through the stereo and the Ipod at the same time?

Does that come with the Scion or would I have to buy it somewhere?

you need a 3.5mm male to 3.5mm male cable to plug the MP3 device into the center console plug

well if your buying soon, i will heed some advice, take it as you will.

DO NOT GET ANY ACCESORIES AT THE DEALER!
you can find them much much cheaper around the net and for the ipod thing i would just save up and get an aftermarket HU like the d3 that has awesome scrolling....

:D

in the 08, turn off your stereo, hold down Audio Cont until it says direct control or something and toggle with your volume ****
