By far cheapest way to get iPod with factory radio

I'd say get the one that is suggested in this thread. The only thing it doesn't do is charge your ipod, but for the price that's okay.

 

ehhh nvm i want this, i heard jail breaking isnt that bad anyway....is the app free?

 

How can u tell if you have a JBL or non JBL? I have a 2006 TRD off road

 

It should say it on the face of the stereo. If it doesn't say "JBL " you don't have the JBL stereo. It didn't work with my JBL stereo, but they gave me a full refund and got to keep it. I gave it to my parents.

 

Yeah jailbreaking is a piece of cake. The app is free.

 

cool
do u know how to jailbreak a touch 2g thats upgraded to 4.0? i searched but too much info is coming up and ive never done this before

 

Yeah, one thing though, look at your serial number on the back of the ipod, does it start with MC?

 

figured it out(jailbreakme.com) and now my ipod hookup is on it way..should be here thursday...hope its not too hard to put in

thanks for your help

 

so mine works great but i was only able to control the music from the radio once and now it doesnt work...is there a trick to making it work?

 

Is anyones sound still kinda soft compared to the radio?

 

r u using a touch? i found a way to make the sound pretty good but only on the touch.

and does anyone know why i cant control it from the radio?

 

Yeah i got a touch.

 

i dont know if u did this already but it worked for me...go to the preferences->music(i think)->then go to the equalizer and set it to off. that made my sound way better

 

If i have a non JBL single CD, will i lose the ability to use cd's?

 

Yeah anytime.

That's really strange, sorry i can't help you on that one.

No, when you hook up the ipod adapter it adds a second function to the "disc" button. You press it and it does cd, then you press it again and it goes to the ipod.

 

Got to get one and try it.

 

Anyone know of a way to modify this to add +5v power to this as well. I haven't looked into it yet, will most likely get one, but the lack of powering the iPod is a major drawback for me. I was spoiled with my tC as it was all factory from the start, never took the iPod out of the car.

 

is there a way to change the cable on this thing so that its one that connects to the headphone jack?

 

I would be interested in this as well. I don't see any possibility of it happening easily though.

Something like this should work if you can find one for sale.

Ok, so got mine in the other day, hooked it up today and.. nothing. Press the disc button and nothing. I tried with cds in and no cds in (6-disc changer). Aux still works, but there is not switching once it's connected. The stranger part is it actually shows as charning my iPod (1st gen Touch). The accessory splash screen shows up as well, but no option to change anything on the stereo..

Anyone have suggestions?
