    I've been using a cheap cassette adapter to use my phone to play audio in my 2003, and while it does work its quite annoying. The mechanism is loud and tends to get quieter over time until I take the tape out and put it back in. To fix this, I pulled my cd player out and found it has a fixed cable with two electrically identical 12pin connectors on it. I found a cheap aux adapter here on amazon, and y cable meant for other toyota's that seem to use the same connector, and am thinking about ordering it, rather than doing further reverse engineering work to make my own.

    Do these work properly with the prius? Its not listed as a supported vehicle but I know its a rather low production car and figured it might have just been missed.
