'09 brochure shows iPod interface cable....

The same one that comes with the Xd. Is this a mistake or is Toyota offering true ipod integration with the '09 like they do with the Xd?

I bought my Ipod interface cable at Walmart for $7.88.

I thought I was already pretty clear. Page 9 of the brochure shows the same integration cable that the Xd has. This cable allows you to control your ipod and browse your albums, songs, playlists, etc from your head unit and steering wheel. When you plug the cable into an ipod connected to a Scion, the ipod displays the Scion graphic. Was at the dealer yesterday and tried out my ipod. My ipod displayed a custom graphi scion logo when I plugged it in and the ipod menus were visible on the xd pioneer head unit.

Don't confuse Scion with Toyota, young one. Scions come with all the cool stuff, incl. the Pioneer setup with iPod integration. You just bought a cable.

Toyotas need the cable AND the integration unit, hence the higher price.

For what it's worth, the Lexus 400h has a "true" IPOD interface cable. You select SAT and the screen provides a "VAIS-like" interface to the IPOD. Unfortunately, I don't think you can also use the IPOD controls, but there could be a setting to do so. No reason (other than $) than Toyota couldn't use this same system on the Prius.
