2006 highlander ipod options ..

Jan 13, 2007 2 Replies

I am looking at getting a 2006 highlander (without 6 disk changer) and I am curious as to what ipod connection options are available.



I currently have a 98 camry and I am semi-happy with my monster icruze. It is not perfect, but is servicable. And from what I understand, it will not work in the 2006 highlander.



Thanks in advance, Eric


Check the brochure or with the dealer (if their salesmen know anything about the cars, that is...most haven't got a CLUE...) if it has the Aux input installed. On some cars, there is what looks like a headphone jack in the console for plugging in iPods, XM, etc. But try not to confuse the poor salesperson, OK?

If not, google pie toyota input. They're available for about $80.

Hi Eric, First of all, please excuse my english writing. I'd just bought a new 2007 Corolla and i bought tne =ABiPod Interface kit=BB by Toyota. When i receveid my vehicule i was to have a very bad surprise. They call this an =ABiPod interface=BB. I call it a radio interface. Let me explained. I have absoloutly no control over my iPod because the device hook to the radio take over my player. I'm no longer able to navigate and scrolled with my iPod. A firmware in the box take over and i have to pilot my iPod trough the radio. Plus, i have only six playlists available AND without any information than: CD

1 for Playlist =ABname=BB and Track x for tune =ABname=BB. The trick is, you have to go back to iTunes and create playlists called TOYOTA1 trough 5. The 6 is for all the content of your iPod.

This is dumb and near false representation. It is far away from what user called and interface. It's a farce for 300$ canadian dollars.

When i plugged my iPod i can't no longer have my interface and i have to punch number 1 to 5 (you have to remember what's in it).

If you want absolute usual control over your iPod in your car look at Dice Electronics. They have the product that i was thinking when i placed my ordrer at the dealership.

Please keep me posted.
