I just picked up a used 2007 Sport Edition w/ JBL system.   I'd like to add XM radio and an IPOD adapater that will allow steering wheel controls to control the IPOD as well as to have song titles/artists displayed.   I've been searching looking for info on:   1 - what parts to buy 2 - how to install   Anyone have suggestions?   Thanks.
#5 of 10 2008 Urban runner by 4runner77 Apr 13, 2008 (7:47 am)
Hey I just bought the 2008 4runner Urban runner and the TOMTOM Ipod is not working I am not sure if I need to hook it up to the UBS port or the AUX port in the center concole. The dealership is not sure where or how it works and I don't have the time to drop it in service for them to look at it. Does anyone have one or know how it works Replies to this message: wrj1 (Jun 25, 2008 4:07 pm) keb2008 (Jul 09, 2008 5:36 pm) paulinct (May 29, 2009 5:27 am)

Replying to: 4runner77 (Apr 13, 2008 7:47 am) You don't hook it up to the USB port. You hook it up to the AUX port in the center console BUT you cannot use a standard jack that you insert into the AUX and into the iPod headphone jack (as one would expect) if you want to control the Ipod via the TomTom touch screen. You need to get a specific part from TomTom called their Ipod Connect Cable. Note, however, that the resulting sound quality is supposed to be poor. Option: go to Radio Shack and get an audio splitter for about $10. This allows you to plug both the iPod and TomTom into a single port with no interference. The only downside is no controlling iPod with the TomTom. Not that big of a deal to me, however, as I am used to that. -- Hope that helps!

Replying to: wrj1 (Jun 25, 2008 4:07 pm) You mention still being able to use your iPod via the AUX jack, even though you would manually have to control the ipod selections. I am unable to get it to work even then. What am I doing worng? I turned "Aux On" via the tom tom instructions, but still get no sound of the iPod thru the speakers. Any advice?

Replying to: keb2008 (Jul 09, 2008 5:36 pm) I know this is an old post, bit I thought I'd respond anyway, maybe it will help someone.   I just bought a used 06 4Runner. I plugged an IPod into the AUX jack and it wouldn't work, but I realized that the plug wasn't in all the way. If your IPod won't work try pushing the plug in the center console a little harder, it might not be fully inserted in the jack.   Paul
#10 of 10 USB MP3 player -- no sound by jepsen Sep 07, 2009 (5:08 am)
I hope this doesn't reach a dead thread.   I am trying unsuccessfully to play MP3 music from a USB drive on the Tom-Tom audio/navigation system of the 2009 SR5 4Runner w/Trail Edition package. According to the display, the songs are detected. The progress bar moves as though the system "thinks" the music is playing, but there is no sound. It seems I am following the manual's instructions. It is in USB mode (USB displayed in upper left). The USB format is supposed to be "ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2." I "forced ISO compatibility" with the MP3 burner I am using, but I'm not sure if this qualifies as ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2. Has anyone else had this problem? I wonder if the cause is similar to the one causing the iPod problem in an earlier post on this thread.
