STOCK HU - 6 DISC - IPOD INSTALL - KICKER SETUP **LRG POST**
The goal here was to keep the stock head unit, almost to any extent! Luckily, I found the neo ipod adapter. I guess it does work with even the stock Pioneer 6disc head unit. Also when installing the amp and sub, I wanted to keep it small, but overly sufficient. The amp is installed under the passanger seat; the sub located in the rear hatch (small enough for the passenger rear seat to recline)

by the way nice install, and very very clean, good find,, please get back on this adapter and explain everything, i've been lookin for a solution for months now and can't find crap and am utterly suprised to see that this worked!!

The ipod is connected via "NEO Ion adapter", and toyota harness included in kit. and plugs into a factory port in the rear of stock HU. The Neo also charges the ipod. Installation was simple, toke about 20 mins. No hard wiring, no mods at all!
I then ran the ipod line to the center console, thru the E-brake opening.
I then purchased the belkin cup holder cradle, just to have a place to rest the ipod.

i like it except the mounting of the amp......IMO, under the seat is the worst place to put an amp....makes it look like you ran out of creativity......
props on the rest of the setup, and I wish my car was that clean inside.....

I just looked up the price (check it out at www.carplayer.com) and it's $190!!! That ish is TOO EXPENSIVE! I just bought the TOY03-AUX instead. It's only $70 and I can figure out another way of charging the b*&^h

It doesn't, trust me. If it did, why would people pay $200+ for the Neo, ipod2car etc to do the same thing? The TOY03 takes RCA inputs, there is no way they can be used to control your iPod.
Here is the installation diagram for the TOY03. Notice it has 2 RCA inputs, that's it.
