Replying to: jbollt (Jul 13, 2006 6:14 am) No interference, and no ground loop eliminator was needed. I have my iPod connected via a Belkin "Auto Kit for iPod" (BestBuy for around $30). It plugs into the 12v outlet. It has it's own aux input. I plugged one end of the "mini to mini" gold plated cable I bought (at Walmart for about $4) into the aux input on the car, and the other end into the aux input on the Belkin. The Belkin then has a cable that plugs into the bottom of the iPod, (dock connector) and allows the iPod to charge and play thru the aux on the car. This also allows the iPod to reach into the center of the car... with only one wire attached directly to the iPod...if a passenger wants to change songs. It will pause the iPod when the car is shut off, and all that is needed is to push play when I start up the car again. nice! BTW, I find the sound quality of this JBL system to be superb! I don't need the 4CD changer with over 4000 songs on my iPod!

I'm trying to get the wiring right on my new TCH for a Sirius player. I got no help at all from my dealer on whether the factory installed player works or not, nor could they help me on wiring. My real question is exactly how should the antenna wire be routed? In searching, I've found a few posts that link to pictures which seem to hide the cord well. However, I cant quite figure out how. I only picked up my car yesterday so haven't really taken apart the panels (and would like not to if possible), however I plan on running the wire from the unit to the trunk and hide it as much as possible. Specifically, how do you get the wire out of the recessed area where it will sit (where the power and input plugs are) without snaking it right out the front and down the center console? I imagine their is a cutout or pass through within that area, right? Second, how do you best go from the car cabin into the trunk? Thanks again. |

Replying to: pgrokkos (Jul 28, 2006 7:12 am) Why do you need to do wiring if you have a factory installed "player". Are you saying you have a Sirius tuner installed and they didn't install the antenna? Are you positive that you already have a player installed or just the factory system that is compatable with Sirius (but you still would need to install)?

Replying to: pgrokkos (Jul 28, 2006 8:46 am) My antenna is mounted on the roof, right in the center of the rear window. I ran the antenna wire around the window, and tucked it into the groove, maintaining a bit of tension on the wire to keep it in place. I then ran it into the trunk, and wrapped it around the rear seat fold-down release several times to keep it tight in the groove around the window. From there, it goes through the fold down seat opening, tucks into the gaps in the cushions, and tucks under the door sill trim to get to the front. |

 Copied from a posting I put on Greenhybrid.... I got in my TCH this morning and the radio/nav didn't come on. I tried shutting down and restarting to no avail. I took it to a dealer and they simply told me "the stereo is fried and this happens sometimes". They are ordering a new one however it will not be in for a week! The worst part is I realized that I have become very reliant on the nav as I use it for work to locate customers. Guess I'll be dusting off the paper maps to find my way around for a week. Oh and in case anyone is wondering, I've had the car for just over 1 month and it has 3000 miles on it. Also I will loose the data from my best MPG, 81.9.

I'm currently waiting on my new 2007 Camry Hybrid to be delivered, and I'm looking at getting XM put in afterwards. (Cheaper than Dealership install) Right now, I'm planning on getting the receiver and install kit from Toyotapartspeople, and having my local Hi-Fi Buys install it. (I'm not terribly saavy when it comes to car electronic components and I'd rather pay for a pro to install it) Is there anything I should be concerned about? I know this question has been asked before, but just for my peace of mind: Will the XM be fully integrated into the stereo? (Station, track and song info visible on the display) Are there any "gotchas" I should look out for? Any and all help is appreciated.  Thanks! Jay

Replying to: cruisenatl (Aug 13, 2006 11:22 am) You should spend some time considering where you want the head unit placed, etc. Instead of letting them decide for you. But Jay, I can't believe the dealer install is that much more, bottom line, than having the hi-fi shop do it. And even if it is $50 more, wouldn't the dealers expertise about the Toyota wiring, etc, outweigh that? |
