This is something I would like to do as well, though I won't have NAV. I don't need no stickin' map. Where's the adventure in that? I do however need my iPod. Having it hook up to the factory stereo and displaying tracks would be great.
I wouldn't get a Tundra without Navi based on all the features it does It comes out 10 times more enjoyable on trip's etc...This is something I would like to do as well, though I won't have NAV.

I agree, once you go NAV you can never go back. If you don't have it though this is a good option for iPod: In Dash Car PC - GROM iPod AdaptersI wouldn't get a Tundra without Navi based on all the features it does It comes out 10 times more enjoyable on trip's etc...
I knew it was just a matter of time before someone brought up the aux input! What I want to accomplish is:I picked up an mini din cable from Radio Shack which plugs into the aux panel in the truck then to the speakers output on my ipod. The cable cost 8 bucks.
I agree. as stated above..... I would also like a better Ipod interface screen one that almost looks like the Ipod on my nav. I don't want to have to look hard/squint too look for a song. and would like to be able to scroll through song via steering wheel control. not have to reach over and turn the tuner. something more like ...... ULTIMATE IPODI knew it was just a matter of time before someone brought up the aux input! What I want to accomplish is:
This can only be accomplished via the iPod dock connector. The Aux is nice to have vs. nothing, much better than FM transmitter or cassette but not versatile enough for me
- Control iPod from the steering wheel controls
- Control iPod from the NAV screen and see what's playing
- Keep iPod charged
- Keep iPod out of view
I agree that stock look's good but it's a far cry from a Good decent Navigation head unit. All the complains I'm reading about my system does and Performs a whole lot better vs factory Oem Toyota. Toyota is second rate techology when it comes to this stuff features wise it lack's a lot of options Aftermarkets exceed so well in. Wile My system has the ipod functions I also gain a harddrive with advanced music search voice command's for genre album etc ..I like the Scosche interface kit for the factory nav. Ive always preferred stock over the aftermarket look.
