If you can spare another 200+ bucks then go for it. But this looks to me a very simple fix, look around and see who wants to part with their connector. And also, if you are thinking of keeping your stock HU forever...then yea is worth replacing.
Most and I say most (like 70% +/-) peeps have aftermarket units, and those aftermarket units uses a different ipod connector.

Why don't you email trdsparks and see if they can find you that part? They are cheaper than buying from dealer. Buy the part, have tradsparks send you instructions on how to replace (usually in pdf format) and replace yourself!

Just thought id mention, that's not a usb port. Its scions proprietary designed ipod hook-up. There's a cord, sold by scion, that plugs into this socket, and then plugs into an ipod.

Yes, as cobalt already pointed out, that's not a USB port. It's the "Scion Specialty" port for ipods. The cable is around $80 through the dealer/trd, but you can find one for 20 and up on ebay.
How did anyone who has driven or seen a scion that is older than 2009 not know that was the ipod specialty port?

Why so much? For the keyless entry system? You can get a copy of the key made at any shop for a few bucks. Our keys aren't chipped, and should not cost that much at all.

Id guess mr wilson doesn't know anything about xds. Another tc owner who wanted to help but doesn't know about our cars. Acually, the tcs and xbs had the same port,so shame on you mr wilson for telling some new guy bad info. And about the keys; a plain key is cheap, but a programed key fob is expensive.

just a thought...
When I bought mine used a few months back, I found my cord at the bottom of the glove box, Had it not of been there , I would have made the dealer give me one, I would not pay for a missing piece that should have been supplied by the dealer. My dealer also certified the car, and if the car is certified I would argue why this was not noticed by them, if not certified, I would still try and make them give you one. The worst they can say is NO.
