    Help, simple question if you know the answer (isn't that always the case!).
    Plugged my ipod into the aux input jack but couldn't get it to play when I turned on the stereo. I have a 2006 Prius - anybody know what the problem might be?

    When you turned on your stereo, did you press the CD/AUX button and make sure it was in AUX mode?
    Did you turn on your ipod and start it?

    I find I have to raise the Ipod volume to more than headphone level to get the car to play properly.

    I'd recommend getting a Belkin (or similar) unit that plugs into the bottom of the ipod. The signal goes through it cleanly and it keeps the iPod charged.

    also make sure your aux cable is fully plugged in. The stereo wont go to aux mode if it doesnt detect a cable plugged in it.
