Ipod connector for stock stereo?

wow this thread is great, this is exactaly what i have been looking to do to my car.

So far i have seen these products mentioned.

USA-SPEC
peripheral i-pod
PIE

I don't know which one to get, they all work good right? Then i might as well get the cheapest one.

One thing before placing an order, I have the 06 tacoma w/ the 6cd changer, if i install this, can i still play cd's and the ipod?

This is were i'm confused if i can play cd's and the ipod their both on the stearo button, how does this work w/o interfering with one another?

Sorry for all these questions but this is my last one.

Can i change the song and sound on my ipod via the stock headunit/wheel buttons since driving while messing around w/ the scrollwheel isn't a good idea.

Thank's for the pics They were very informative.

 

Yes, the USASPEC works with the 6cd internal changer. It also appears to work if you have an external changer (there's a passthrough on the wiring harness), but I can't confirm this.

With the USASPEC PA12-TOY, hitting the "Mode" button on the steering wheel cycles between AM->FM->Builtin CD->iPod (if plugged in)->Aux Input on PA12-TOY

At least with the current firmware on the PA12, I can operate it with the headunit, the steering wheel, or the iPod controls themselves.
