Oem To Ipod Connector Help

[Biojem]

Hello, I've just bought a 2005 Rav4 with a B9000 sat nat stereo unit.

I want to connect an ipod to this stereo so I've bought this connector...

I understand it connects into the same dock as a CD multi-changer would as so should be a straight forward job but I am unsure where to start!

Do I need to take the unit out? If so how does it come out?

Any suggestions/help gratefully recieved.

Hi Jeremy,

you will need to take the head unit out to get to the back of it to plug in the cables. There is a fairly recent post giving instructions, with photos as well I think, which should help :) it is a pretty easy job, but any questions, just ask. Quite a few members have done this so lots of help available here

Hi Jeremy,

i was looking at getting one of these too only because it looks easy, theres a how to fit a GTX car ipod kit on utube different kit but gives an idea of how easy it should be, can i ask how you got on? is it fitted and are the controls for the ipod easy to use from the head unit, cheers Mark :)

just as an add on, found one of these... adapter-toyota-avensis-corolla-rav4-p-5169.html?osCsid=5eae3382f533d4881ddf8cb48aa8ca54

wondering if anyone had fitted one, I`m quite happy to put the ipod on shuffle, not too worried about having ultimate controlof the pod from the head unit, so just an jack cable would suit, like what you get in them newer posher models thats not in mine that i though would have been !

cheers Peeps, Mark
