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?

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!!!

:rolleyes::whistling:

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.

      2001 Toyota Camry wagon passenger side locks not working

      Had a similar issue with my 2003 Camry sedan. I'm think the mechanism might be bit stiff, so removing the door card and spraying the locking cable (the one that pushes the lock knob into the lock and unlock position on the interior door handle) with some Innox might work to loosen up the old grease and get it working again.

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi Ed, Hmm that's a tough one mate ..short of going to Toyota to get genuine and no I doubt they would laugh at you as it's a sale and money is tight right now. I am not sure if you are on Facebook or not but I have seen an advert on there for what looks like superb floor mat sets that do seem excellent quality and a wide range but like most things now they are not cheapish. My best advice is source some good quality ones and search online for someone who offers embroidery as some do tradie shirts and logos on clothing it may be worth a phone call to those sort of places as I know a local one to me does all sorts of work on many things related to embroidery or an alternative choice is the online sites like Temu... EBay etc Let us know how you get on mate good luck. KAA

      2001 Toyota Camry wagon passenger side locks not working

      Gday, I've got a 2001 Camry wagon which has been having locking issues for a while now, just started occurring out of the blue. There is no fob so we manually unlock and lock from the driver side door, however the rear and front passenger doors consistently have issues. Either when we unlock one or both doors don't unlock and must be unlocked from inside the car, or when we lock it one or both don't lock and the car beeps. To fix that, we open the door, lock it from the inside, the lift up the handle and close the door before releasing the handle. That fixes the locking issue. When testing the locks from inside the car, I can see that they partially lock and unlock, so I'm wondering if they need to be replaced entirely or if there's some other way to fix it. Cheers

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      I have a 2002 Hilux that is meant to have a 5le engine but i think it was replaced with a new engine with a turbo before i bought it. Its a different engine compared to what is in the manual - eg the alternator is at the bottom not the top as per the manual. The engine is seized - tried roll starting downhill and wheels just locked up. I cant find what the engine is. Any ideas on where I would find it? Also 5LE engines are hard to find - any ideas on what else i could put in? Does a 1KZ fit?
