Radio/cd Pics

[stu4199]

I am looking at connecting a Ipod to the wifes 55 reg Yaris. It is the previous model Yaris and it has the built in radio and seperate CD player. I have spoken to ny local Car Audio Specialist who doesnt seem to know how to doi and would like to have a 'poke around the car' to find out! I really would like to be armed with a little bit of info before I let them do this. So,

1. Does anyone have a pics of the back of the Radio and Cd player that they could post on here or details of the connections? (specifically, does this model have a aux/CD changer connection)

2. Does anyone actually have experience of fitting a decent Ipod connector this this model of car with the CD player? How easy is it? What funtionality would I get from steering wheel controls.

Your wisdom would be appreciated!

If you go onto the owners section it shows what accessories are available for the car and also instructions on how to fit them.

Failing that try a website www.connects2.com

Cheers Aygoal,

The problem is the Connects2, Xcarlink and Toyota websites do not specifically state if there is a CD changer connection on the radio (although I would guess there is) and as my Yaris has the single CD player instead of the tape player I am not sure if that would already be plugged into the CD connection. I would like to have better info before I (or anyone else) starts pulling the dash apart. I will have to nip to our local dealer and see what they can tell me.

I may have to go down the FM modulation route, but I was hoping not to! (to get better functionality from the steering wheel controls)

After my single CD player stopped accepting discs I decided the cheapist work around was to get a short range FM transmitted & connect it to a MD or MP3 player.
