My question also - I have a new mp3 player and only a single cd player on my 06 package #3. I was planning to stop by my dealer on Monday to see how to hook it up in the car - or radio shack? would appreciate suggestions.

I used an itrip in my old car to hook up my ipod. In the Prius, it is very staticky (sp). Does anyone recommend a better way of hooking up my ipod? thanks

My Palm Centro phone works!

I just purchased a Samsung flipshot with Verizon as the SP. It's bluetooth capability has worked seemlessly with my 05 Prius. I was able to select which contacts I wanted in the Prius' phonebook and then upload them from the phone very easily.

I am still experimenting with how to set one touch dial numbers so I don't have to come to a complete stop before making a phone call

Does anyone have success with PXDX AUX2CAR for aux input? Its factory website stays that it won't support Prius.

This product had a name change to "iPod2Car".

My understanding is that many people are having trouble using this device in conjuction with other external devices like XM and external CD changers. Used alone I am told it changes songs and volume on your iPod just great. See the discussion thread at:

I called PAC and they claimed that their products do not support Prius (also stated on their website.)

Can anyone confirm their year and model of Prius that work with this module?

Thank you,

We have a new 2008 + Package 1 and had a local car audio dealer install an EGO Look bluetooth system but it wouldn't work with our older Samsung phones. Then they took out the EGO and installed a Parrot system that did work just fine. Total time sitting in the waiting room - 6 HOURS!!! Oh, well - it works just fine with our older phones so we're happy. You don't need the expensive Prius nav system as some posters here have stated.

But, you didn't say that the unit did not work. So, does it work? I want to use XM with the MFD. Does this product do that and is it easy to install?

[davidhol]

Does the XM radio available at XM Radio in Prius work with the basic AM/FM radio one gets with Package #1? The guy who installed our Parrot bluetooth system told us that there was no plug in the back of the radio to connect it to the XM system.

First Generation iPhone (2G) and '04 Prius connect almost instantly when I get in the car and works very well as a hands free.
Sadly Apple haven't yet sorted out the transfer of contacts via bluetooth

What we really need is someone willing to export a Lockpick or equivalent A/V interface to Australia
