thats exactly what im asking, i know convertor boxes exist for other cars, but i cant find anything that works for the TC. i dont know if the car is just too new or what? there has to be a way to remap the buttons to work with an aftermarket head unit.

I read a thread before about an aftermarket adapter that allows you to keep the steering wheel control. It had something to do with PAC. http://www.pac-audio.com/

actually i think none of them say that they work for the tC (or any Scion). but in the thread above people have been able to use that one listed in the thread and the '05 camry instructions

thanks for the link, it looks like the SWI-X or the SWI-ALP will work for the TC... the SWI-ALP would be the convertor of choice with the alpine CDA-9851. no line of sight needed, and everything hidden...

if the iPod connector work on the stock h/u, it'll work on the Eclipse. They both made for Toyota. Not sure though, cuz I don't have the iPod.

sorry, my bad, AVN 2454, there's no 2494, typo :D
