Connecting phone or playing MP3 from CD/CDC T25, 2006

[PrzemoF]

I have a radio with CD, casette (!) and CD a changer. Are there any options to connect phone or play mo from CDs3?

Alternatively any recommendations for radio replacement that supports steering wheel controls?

Edit: look good: https://www.sigmacarstereo.com/toyota-avensis-2003-2007-aftermarket-radio-upgrade-9587

Either of these might help…

Thanks for the suggestion! That kind of stuff was always coming with some hissing noise for me. Maybe I was unlucky...

Thats the beauty of amazons return policy if the unit does not do what it claims.

I use an adapter via the rear CD changer  port. All functions work through the steering controls and I play my music mainly from USB memory sticks. My car is the later T27, but adapters were designed to work with the T25 CD radio. The only  audio unit you could have issues with is the Nav version! The sound quality is as good as the quality of the MP3. There are lots of adapters and some like the ones I use have bluetooth, that again work via the steering controls. Cheaper ones are USB only. Definitely avoid cheap FM units which have poor sound quality and no direct control from the car stereo or steering controls!
