I need advice please

I am wanting a simple head unit for my 2002 tacoma.
All I really need it for is to play my Ipod.
I bought a FM transmitter and am not satisfied at all.
I am looking at Best Buy and they recommend to me units that have a front mount Aux imput.
Can I just plug my Ipod in and play without having to create a playlist?
Any advice on models would help as well.
Thanks a lot

 

with those aux ports you control the songs through your ipod still. you obviously change the volume with the head unit but as far as skipping through songs it is just like your truck speakers became your headphones.

 

Thats all I really need!
Do you have a set up like this?
Do you have any recommendations (on the cheap side)
Thanks for your help!

 

don't have it now but I used to have it in my other vehicle. Circuit city probably has an adapter that will work with your stock head unit if you didn't want to change it all over. http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Metr...oid/185485/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do#proddesc

this is what i was looking at just the other day for my truck.

 

That would be great.
Problem is, I have a 2002.
And I just have the radio without the CD or MP3 capability.
I wonder if I could find one of those for mine.
Would save a bunch of money!

 

Very nice truck BTW!!!!

 

thanks. I might try to search the net for one that would go in your stock radio, if not i guess you'll have to get an after market setup

 

You wouldnt happen to know if there is a write up with pics on how to put one in do you?
I searched for it and came up blank on here

 

not right off hand, there are alot for the 2nd generation. Let me search around a little bit and see.

 

Great thanks.
I dont want to bother anyone.
I sure there are more important things you could be doing...

how is this just steps 1-5 for the radio i think.

 

You're not bothering me any. All I have to do is work and I've been here since 8am staring at excel spreadsheet. My eyes are on fire so I figured I would see what was going on at TW.

 

Thanks man.
One more question: Will any head unit fit, or does it have to be a specific size?

 

Very true too. I love mp3 cds. seems like you never get to the end of it. but all depends how much green you want to spend.

 

Any recommendations?
How do I burn all those songs onto a disk?

 

I dont think more than $100 for the head unit and the wiring harness.
I do need a wiring harness right?

 

Ok I was just making sure.
I went to Best Buy's web site and submitted my info.
They gave me some possibilities, so I went to E BAY and am finding them for $25-50 less
