Okay guys, I've been looking around the forums for an answer to my question and I've found threads which have addressed it, but I'm gonna ask it here anyway...

I want to play my iPod through my car.

It says MP3 and WMA on the stereo, but no input for my iPod to be plugged into.

I do not want to purchase a new head unit. If an iPod input is not available I'll probably just get one of those frequency thingos.

Help.

If your stereo has an MP3/AUX input with no USB port, then it will have a 3.5mm jack on it where you can plug your iPod into it. You just need a 3.5mm stereo male to 3.5mm stereo male lead and you can input your iPod into it.

Sorry my mistake.

Is says MP3 WMA.

No Aux input...

Below is an image of the exact stereo.

I actually tried the DIY way, using the 1k resistor + a few wires here and there behind the head unit.

Almost broke some pins so I gave that a miss. So, I went the easy way out and purchased this adapter, http://www.cushieaudio.com.au/vehicles/toyota/toyota-toy.html

Plug in and play. Really easy, but cost me a lot more.

That looks like a good option. Where does that sit and how does it connect to speakers in the car?

Otherwise, I'll just have to find someone from these forums who lives in Melbourne that would be willing to help to do it manually!!! :D

Haha, it plugs into the back of the headunit.

I sat it under the headunit (behind the empty slot)

A cable connects to the adapter and then to your phone/ipod.

By the way, I live in Melbourne. I can show you how I did mine if you like?

That's still a FM transmitter, your sound would be much better if it's any consolation :P

So I'm guessing I spent about $120 in the right direction ;)

But hey if you want to see what it looks/sounds like, we can meet up somewhere in Melb?

After deciding it was time to ditch the 2009 Sportwagon Calais V (btw - I dang near fell over from finding out what it was worth after 12 months.... Daymmmmnnnnn!), I saw the Aurion and thought that it looked mighty temptin with the purposeful and elegant, sleek lines, even in the basic ATX form.

I think you made a great choice in cars to "pimp" up.

Show us some pics of your mods when ya get the chance!!

Hang loose, bud.

Welcome mate. If you are in Brisbane, I can fit a head unit for you

That's it. I'm moving to Brisbane :lol:

haha a head unit would be no where near the biggest job done at a weekly meet...

That can be read in SO many ways... but we'll stick to the G rated version. LOL!!!

Welcome to the forums, interested that you'd choose an Aurion but that's not a bad thing though. Seems like we can't bundle all of the youth of today's society in one lump! :toast:

Brisbane meets are the best. Spring Hill Loop Mechanics + KK Donuts/Sarah's brownies + conversations of the... interesting kind. You interstaters are missing out.

Lol but there's quite a few youngin's on here driving Aurion's cheif ?

that keeps us old farts interested in modding. the more the merrier.

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb
