Scion unit that controls Ipod. I took the wiring from a wrecked scion, so I have all the cables needed, from the HU to the ipod. The radio came from a practically new '06 Scion where the person replaced the whole sound system. I've been using it for the last couple of years in a '04 SR5...

As far as I know, the only big difference in functionality is that the t1806 controls an Ipod through the head unit (it also supports an aux in with the right wiring), while the t1807 only supports an aux in. I am using a t1807 now. I really like its ability to play wma and mp3 CDs. In...

My mistake. I thought the auction came with all three cables. Good catch.

The part number for the cable that plugs into the Ipod is PT546-21062. There is an Ebay auction that looks like it has all the pieces: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=018&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=280084562094&rd=1,1

I gave up trying to find a cheap Scion 'IPod Customer Cable', the end of the three cables that plugs into the Ipod, and decided to pay a local dealer for it - $82-$102! Before tax! I found that Toyota of Dallas will actually let you order parts online at a discounted price. It doesn't save...

If you do plan on adding a sub, you will have to get a mono amp. I built my own enclosure for my 8" sub. To make that work, you will have to get a line-output converter that gives you RCA plugs to go to the amp. I ended up putting in a four channel amp + a mono amp.

Wow. I can't believe you talked that lady into letting you take her car apart. It only takes about a week for the knuckle bleeding wounds to heal.

Ipod end connector:

It was easier for me to make a couple of diagrams. Both of these diagrams are looking into the connectors on the side where the wires go in, or looking into the slots where they connect (such as into the HU). There are two sets of three wires that are grouped together and are shielded. I read...

I'll take a look at it tonight. This might help also - look toward the bottom of the post: http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=135872&highlight=ipod+cable

I haven't installed mine yet. Would some close-up pics work?

I'd check, but the junkyards are 45 min. away. If I go down there again, I'll let you know.

Any Scion '06 or better will have the cable. I found a couple of TCs at a scrapyard that specializes in foriegn cars. If you plan on pulling it yourself, make sure you have a knife, some pliers and a screwdriver. Gloves wouldn't hurt either. You probably want to bring the cable that...

This helped me out a lot: http://www.castulucci.com/projects/carpc/oemnaviaccess/ I'm jealous you got a customer cable with yours! Toyota charges at least $75 for one. I don't know if you know this, but you are going to need a total of three cables to get all the way from the radio to the...

Unfortunately, the AUX was busted, but on my current '06 Scion radio I have an AUX connected, so I was going to try and reuse it. Great idea having the Ipod hookup come up through the center console like that. I'm going to try and duplicate it.
