What iPod interface do you recommend?

If you have a 2009 with a SAT button, the PXAMG is hands down the way to go.

I had it in mine before putting in a eclipse head unit.

Ill sell you mine cheap. Its in perfect shape. I even have the box it came it.

 

Thanks Chris!

When you label the playlists (as mentioned above), are you essentially assigning a playlist in your ipod to match up with *Toyota1" (for instance)?

 

Just remember it won't work on the JBL model since it has built-in sat module and therefore will not work. They are great units and if I didn't like the MP3/WMA feature so much, I would trade my radio out for an ealier model.

 

OOoooooooo Ok...You have to create a playlist in your ipod that says Toyota1 exactly so the PA15 can pick it out. Gotcha! Simple enough....

Thanks again!

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get one.
My husband was under the impression that nobody made ipod interfaces for his Acura MDX w/ Nav & Sat radio. I'm looking at the USA Spec site and they make one. I'll have to tell him about that and I'll probably be ordering two units.

 

vaistech ftw. playlist and ipod direct control. works with 99 percent of toyota/lexus models. they specialize in toyota only ipod intergration. check them out at vaistech.com

 

If you use any of these modules for the IPOD/IPHONE integration, are you still able to use the satellite feature as well?

 

LOL! Thanks Chris, I bet you were placing your reply just as I posted mine. You answered my question!

 

I can understand that... it's computer-esk.

Found out what my husband needs in his Acura (PA15-HON2). From what I see, his has tons more features than ours. Damn navigation & satellite fancy schmancy stuff... (laugh)

Now I'm trying to shop around for cheapest prices and if I can strike up a deal on buying two at the same time. But my gawd, the prices vary from like $110-$160+ on both units. Amazon is outragious. Ebay prices vary also and I'm always cautious about feedbacks.
Any suggestions on best place to buy? (yeah, I know...you knew I'd ask that - damn NEWB questions)

 

Is there a write-up on installing the USA-Spec in our tacomas?

I don't need it myself - since I've done it already with the ipod2car.

But since I'll be installing the USA Spec soon - I can take picts and do a writeup if there's a need for one. Otherwise, I don't want to repeat another writeup if one already exists.

 

Don't know about write up but there is a good install video on you tube.

 

WTF?

THE WIRES......THE WIRES.....

Nevermind then...I won't do a writeup. Tons of them exist already. Although, probably end up doing a writeup on my husbands Acura install.
