    I will soon get my brand new Prius. I know there is an iPod connector. Will it work for Creatives players also? If not, are there any adapters available?

    As far as I know, all that's needed is a 1/8" to 1/8" (may be called Mini Plug) connector. Plug one end to the headphone jack on your Creative Zen V and the other to the AUX jack. At least that's how it is in the US models.

    If you're trying to do headunit control and text display on-screen, then no.

    Hay! I have a Creative Zen Vision M and with the connector cable referenced above it works great with the Prius..... As stated, you cannot use the MFD for controls, you have to use the Zen. :D

    It is not an iPod connector, but rather an input jack. It will play sound from anything you can plug regular headphones into. As others have said, it won't control the device, you'll need to push the buttons yourself, but I like the nice clean sound after using those obnoxious radio adapters on my iPod.
