  1. Hi Jonathan and David, I have some news regarding this wonderful oversight by Toyota. I think we can all feel each others' frustrations here. We bought the top of the range Kluger, only to find the basic of functionality missing... I have done some research and have found a unit that is installed behind the dash and is plugged into the satnav unit. It is called a "Tranzlt IS77" and it is by isimple Solutions. The website is below. http://www.isimplesolutions.com/universal-solutions-TranzIt-IS77.aspx It retails in the US for around $90, but I found mine on eBay for much less. Basically it is an FM Modulator, and it requires an FM frequency to operate. I have programmed mine and have set a preset station for it. You can either have a rather thick iPod cable protruding out to connect and charge your iPhone/iPod/iPad etc, OR, you can have a 3.5mm aux jack that connects your iPod etc to play music through the satnav/stereo unit, but the iPod etc will not charge. There is also an on/off switch that needs to be switched on for this to work. What I have done with my setup, is put the aux jack in the available decal next to the seat warmer switches under the aircon unit at the top of the shifter console, which I notice the new Grande has the same, with the on/off switch on the side of the console near the glove box. You could put this switch in the glove box itself, but I figured I'd prefer it to the side of the console so I have easy access to it. I only switch mine on when I'm playing music from my iPhone, otherwise I keep it switched off, as I have found that the FM reception is slightly compromised. I got the guys at JB Hifi to install mine, but if you're handy with things like that, you'll be able to install it yourself, as the instructions are excellent. Just be careful opening up the dash, as the plastic is soft. So, there it is, a solution to our woes. Pity Toyota didn't think of this... All the very best to you both Regards Matt
  2. Hi, I have recently purchased a 2009 Kluger Grande AWD after owning a 2007 Kluger KX-S 2WD. The KX-S had an AUX input jack so I could connect my iPhone to the stereo to play my music. I have noticed that this AUX input jack is not available on the DVD/SatNav/stereo of the Grande. Has anyone found a way, hopefully not too expensive, around this? Thanks in great anticipation. Regards to All Matt
