How do I use the MP3 feature - Toyota 4Runner Forum

Hi! I hope someone can help me solve this mystery. My stock stereo on my '06 4R labels MP3 as an option but I have never been able to figure it out. What am I looking for that's not there?

Is this an easy thing to fix? I'd love to be able to listen to my music through the stereo rather than headphones or those crappy transmitters.

It means that the headunit can play CDs that have MP3 formatted files.

You can play music from anything with a 3.5mm stereo jack (phone, MP3 player, etc...) through the auxiliary input in the center console, you just need to put your stereo into the AUX mode and have an input connector cord like this.

Sweet! I found my aux input; after reading around, I vaguely recalled finding an odd 'port' in the center console. Now I'm off to get that little cord!

Will I be able to answer phone calls or make phone calls through this, and will I need to get an external speaker so that I can?

I'm so excited I can listen to my music now!
