Confused About Toyota Ipod Link

[Andrew Taylor]

Hi,

I'm confused about the Toyota iPod link. It's something I want for a 2006 Avensis Tourer (pre-face lift, no nav). It's currently got a combined radio/tape/single cd. I got a quote for the Toyota link kit which will give me a dock connector in the glove box (or perhaps a USB socket, I didn't ask) but how does it integrate with the head unit. Does it pretend to be a CD Changer and then allow me to select playlists in place of disks? Or is it something better?

I've got a Grom Audio device in my Lexus which works brilliantly, that works in place of CD Changer, if this is all the Toyota one does, I'd rather just stick with Grom, it's much cheaper and I'm happy with it. If the Toyota gives me better features, then, I'll go with Toyota.

Thanks

Andrew
