1Gen-SequoiaGeneral discussion forum for the first generation 2001 to 2007 Toyota Sequoia.
This is a discussion thread titled "How to iPod your 2006 Sequoia with Nav,RSE,etc.", within the 1Gen-Sequoia forum, part of the SUV Forums category.
Re: How to iPod your 2006 Sequoia with Nav,RSE,etc.
I was curious, can you select "cd changer" & listen to the ipod from the rear seat entertainment system.
Other threads indicate "no" since you have the ipod2car connected directly to the head unit, instead of to the 12 pin connector on the RSE controller under the center console. Apparently with connecting the ipod2car to the RSE system, both the RSE & Head unit now recognize the "CD changer".
Appreciate it if you can confirm the above.
Thanks, Greg

I tried both when I was installing mine -- you are correct. It is available for both when connected to the RSE controller and not available via RSE when connected to the head unit. If I remember correctly, the same is true for the XM tuner (that's how I ended up connecting it).

Not sure how to gain access to the rse computer under the center console. Is it difficult to remove the center console or is in in two parts; front half & rear half?
Thx, Greg

I've attached the pages from the repair manual that describe how to get where you need. The thing you need to get at is the "Multi-display Controller". This is from the 2005 manual, I assume '06 is the same.
Re: How to iPod your 2006 Sequoia with Nav,RSE,etc.
I just hooked up my ipod using VFXToGo's tutorial and it worked like a charm. Next is to remove the center console and run the wire to the center console. Currently I ran it to the glove box...
One note, if you turn on DIP switch 6, the volume is much louder. I read this somewhere else and I forget now where...

After using the ipod to car for a while, I noticed that there were some loud noises and bugs. I called the company and they said that it was not designed for my car. I have the NAV and rear entertainment. I ended up trying a unit from DICE. Works well! You can set it to control the ipod through the ipod (Steering wheel controls still work) or through the NAV screen. They say that mid summer they are coming out with a new one that does both. I have been very pleased with DICE's customer service.

I installed the audio2car kit last night. it works well but has one interesting bug. Every time i turn the Sequoia off and back on the audio source is set to CD Changer. even if I was listening to fm when I shut the car off.
Based on the last post this may be an issue with my having both the Nav and DVD options.
