    Hi folks!

    I just bought my 2005 Prius base used and am a huge audiophile and am dying for an aux input to use my iPod! Bluetooth would also be great, but isn't completely necessary. I've looked around and seen several options (aux-box, installing a new radio, etc.) but I'm completely naive about cars and taking them apart/installing things myself (though I'd be willing to try something rudimentary). Does anyone know a CHEAP/EASY way to use my iPod/iPhone in my car?

    I know Best Buy charges $65 + parts for installation and I found some radios on Amazon for ~$30 with bluetooth and aux, but I'm not sure what I'm doing here and I'm sure I'll mess up.

    Any recommendations would be great!! Thank you :)

    I'm sorry. Then it must have been an option for my Gen2 (German/European 2008, called "Sol edition")
    But I've installed an additional interface with USB and Bluetooth. But therefore one has to remove nearly the complete dashboard to connect the plug to the connector at the backside of the radio. Maybe not the solution, you're looking for.
