i was just looking at the dealer installed accessories and that was the price. Is it only $260 if you buy a 2006 model?

$900 is a lot of money.

I have a 2005 Scion xB and i don't want to pay $900.

 

Ask at the dealership. Those numbers don't sound quite right.

 

just get the regular deck and use the input jack. only difference is it will not charge your ipod and you have to control your ipod yourself but for a 700-900 savings probably worth it.

 

You in Ca. i can help you out with a better solution... hit me up or aim me...

 

can the dealer do that?...what is it...do they change the entire radio head or what?

 

i can buy a a new whole audio system

 

the ipod option is a different deck with an ipod controller built in . all 06's come with an aux in that any cd player , md player , or mp3 player can plug into.

 

For 900$ you could buy:
1.) Top of the line ipod
2.) The ipod-head unit adapter with recharging capabilities and deck control over the ipod.
3.) a bunch of beer and have a block party while listening to your endless amounts of music until the playlist starts over.

 

buy an alpine deck that will control an Ipod directly. Max you'll spend might be $400

 

thanks...i hope to hear from the dealer soon.

 

Harman Kardon has a solution for the iPod in the car. You won’t need the iPod in view, put it away in the center consol or glove box. All audio controls are accessed from the control stick which is really cool, you then can view the play lists on the dash mounted display. The iPod is charged when connected to the system. MSRP is around $200, nothing hard confirmed yet.

Everything is plug and play, can be installed in less than 1 minute to play or you can hard wire it. Scheduled release is October/November but should have mine in a few weeks for the TC.



Or you can go sign up to be notified when it is released.

it should not be 800... according to "pure pricing" its 260 for the ipod option. i know i have it... its labeled:

AM/FM/CD with iPod capability by pioneer


its only 260...

edit:
after rereading the post... i feel like a dumass... its more then likely that expensive because of the "involved install". ie placement of the cord and what not.

I purchsaed my 2006 Scion XB with the iPod deck that allows you to charge it and control it from the head unit. I paid $260 for that, the single CD changer model. $260 is not a bad price at all when you compare this to buying a new iPod ready head unit, or adding the expensive options out there for aftermarket compatability with these features.

 

yup...it's about $900

 

If you buy a 2006 model year Scion the i-pod upgrade head unit will cost you $260, and will include installation and the cable to connect to your i-pod. If you own a pre-2006 Scion and buy the head unit over the counter at the old parts department, you are looking at spending around $900. Bottom line - If you are buying an '06, get the upgrade. If you don't have an '06, best of luck to ya!

 

Check my sig for the link to my box for my $150 dollar solution.

 

i see...so would i have to buy that new head unit and everything???

that seems like it would still be about $350 or so

that is an awesome thing...i signed up for updates. how are you getting yours early?

does that sceen on the dash recognize the iPod screen and transmits everything

 

I work for Harman Consumer Group which owns JBL, Harman Kardon and Infinity. I have a demo TC for JBL and Toyota, it would make sense that I would have one early.

Plug in the iPod, put it in the glove box or center console and forget about it. It does all iPod functions for music, no photo. It will allow you to select any music list and then scroll through them as you see fit. The only product on the market that offers the ability to scroll through play lists in this price range.

The display has all the iPod screen display as you would expect on the normal iPod display, access menus, adjust font size, etc.

I have to go buy an iPod as I do not own one, I was really impressed with the unit’s ease of installation, features and it is a lot cooler than the normal cradle next to the radio. You can plug in your iPod or if a friend comes along for a ride just plug it in. It will not appeal to all but it is really cool.

 

i didn't know you worked for them

this is a really great feature from what it sounds like...where will i be able to buy it? who will install it?

is the qualtiy just as good as a tape deck...honestly...don't BS because you work for them please...

where do i plug the ipod into?
