Already confirmed that it does not.

 

Well that just sucks out loud. Yet more wires to run in the dash i suppose. Good thing i have people who can do that stuff and not i.

 

I wonder if the subplug will work for the AVN head unit.

 

I have informed my district rep about the mass suckage that this is. I'm just glad I thought to find out so I can let my customers who are interested know...without learning the hard way.

 

You are the man...and I don't mean in the police officer/government sort of way.

 

That pretty much ruins my hopes of picking this up. I guess I will look at the standard eclipse units available. It's too bad because the UI looks great and I love the design of the unit. I guess you have to trade that for lack of i/o cabling. Doh!

 

Will it have Bluetooth? Please?

 

no bluetooth unless it's a last minute thing . .. . i am doubting it . .

 

Seems like a waste of money getting that upgrade at the dealer IF it is more or less a crippled Eclipse unit.

 

My only question is, can I install it in an '06 tC...

;)

 

yes. It will be available for the 08 tC, so you should be able to get one for your 06.

 

Both premium audio systems will have RCA outs!

Uhm no. Only the Pioneer premium. The standard and the AVN will not.

 

The Scion navigation unit is an Alpine unit, the xB guru @ the Backstage event told me and showed me the owner's manual. Only the premium stereo will have pre-outs as I asked that too.

 

Yeah, we figured that out ages ago.

 

If you go to scionofPCFL's profile and look at all of his posts you will discover all of the information you shared and a whole lot more.

 

The answer is NO. The 2008 headunits will not back date for any model. I received 3 press releases to this effect. Sorry!

 

Just found out that it's almost 2k. Too rich for my blood, anyway!

 

I find it hard to believe that you wouldn't be able to put the new AVN in an 06 tC. I don't know why you would do it, but it's difficult to see how you couldn't do it.

 

Well realistically you can put any head unit in any car. The point here is that none of the 08 head units are going to be plug & play for any of the preceding years. I would assume that they changed the wiring. If you wanted to install the SNS it would probably take wire splicing, etc instead of just being able to directly plug it in.
