I've had no interference whatsoever when connecting my IPOD Nano via a 3.5mm plug and 12 volt adapter. In fact, I feel that the sound is superior to that produced by the tuner.

I am not sure if it works with a cassette adapter, but I ordered one from crutchfield (they had one for 17.99 with the 1/8" mini stereo plugs so you don't need extra adapters to convert from RCA plugs).
 
I tried hooking up my Roady XT XM radio via the aux jack, and it sounds BAD - annoying hiss/whine that sounds like ground loop interference (and the audio level is pretty low). I think both of these are partially the fault of the Roady XT - I have seen a lot of comments about these issues - especially the audio level.
 
I am using the FM transmitter in the meantime - it sounds far better than the AUX at this time. I will share my results with this GLI filter when it arrives.
 
Thanks

I took a new TCH on a 200 mi trip this week using my new MP3 and aux jack. The sound was extraordinary. It was clearer and more powerful than the CD's I'd used previously in the TCH.
 
The FM transmitter into my Prius ls no comparison. Green with ENVY.

I've tried my iPod with the Aux jack and noticed a lot of hiss. It improved slightly when I cranked the iPod to full volume, but was still not great.
 
I'm suspecting the cheap male-to-male 3.5mm cable I am using. I paid about $3 for it. It's 6ft long. There was a Monster Cable available, but for about $15. I considered paying for the upgrade, but figured I'd give the cheap one a shot.
 
Can you tell us what type of cable you used?
 
I found using the iPod interface inconvenient and probably a little dangerous as my eyes were off the road more than I'd like. I've seen some interface kits that connect to the full interface for aux devices and would give us control of the iPod from the steering wheel, just like with an XM. Not even sure if they are available for 07 Camry.
 
Anyone seen or tried one of these?

Random all-disc by berg32

We followed the instruction to play all CDs randomly, but it didn't work. Have you gotten this feature to work?

This may not relate to you, but IIRC, if you're playing MP3 or WMA discs, you cannot get the random function to switch discs. You can, however, get it to select random tracks from random folders on a single disc. (Though in my experience, the randomization tends to repeat a lot. )

Enable all Nav/phone/music functions while driving? by heathinsd
May 23, 2006 (8:32 am)

Does anyone know if there is a way to enable all of the functions of the DVD Navigation, Phone, and CD Player while driving? I know they reduce functionality while driving due to safety, that totally makes sense. However I always have people in the car with me and it makes it difficult for them to use the system when we're moving.
 
For example, you have to use speed dial for the phone or do "dial by voice" which takes forever. You can't view folder/file views on MP3 CDs. You can't update the phone book or mess with any of the Setup or Maintenance screens either.
 
Thanks for any help!

dimmer controls for audio deck by gassman

Is there a dimmer function for the cd/radio? I found the dimmer knob for the instrument panel, but could not find anything for the audio panel. I don't have navigation.

I have seen this complaint/question a few times now. I do not have an answer at the moment, but I am trying to get one. I have a copy of a manual called "Body Electrical" for the TCH and it lists lots of dealer-settable options. One of them MIGHT adjust the brightness of the stereo, but the English isn't very clear (bad translation?) so I cannot be sure. I will post back what I find out.

Thanks. I like the brightness during the daytime, but found that it was too bright for dark nights. I look forward to hearing from you.
