Anyone have luck with the aux in adapters on ebay like this one? Car MP3 Player Radio Interface Aux in Adapter for Toyota Camry Corolla Yaris | eBay It lists Prius as compatible. I installed one just like this on my base model 2007 Tacoma and it worked like a charm. I have a base model 2008 Prius (has the 51830 stereo)
I have a 3.5mm cassette adapter for my 2004 and 2005 prius, I don't think the 2008 model has a cassette player. I just watched (maybe for the 5th time) the worst car in the world top gear UK episode and when they were talking about the SC430 they said it was the last production car ever sold with a cassette player, I think toyota is a little behind in the stereo department, but how come the JBL sound system in both my Prius sounds better than the stereo's on most new 2014 cars?
Kinda late reply but I have the Dice Silverline adapter but took it off and installed an aftermarket head unit. I'll sell it if you want it. It gives you a 3.5mm input for an aux device, as well as a 13 pin iPod plug in....all the MFD controls work, steering wheel buttons, songs/artist also show on the headunit.
So what was the problem with the Dice Silverline that you felt the need to add a head unit? Lockups and resets? Is this the same model you have:
I have this one. Has zero issues. I didn't have the JBL system, so I got a new headunit that had built in bluetooth, and then added some Sony speakers. Tried to sell the Dice on Craigslist locally but no calls. I believe you have to pull the MFD out to get to the quick disconnects but it only took about 30 min. I also used the old ipod to new iphone adapter and it worked flawlessly with my iPhone 5. It also has a female 3.5mm input, I just connected a male-to-male 3.5mm to that for anything else I wanted to plug in but there was no text or steering wheel button support with the 3.5mm, only the ipod cord.
I wore out the stereo out jack on my last iPod, so I installed a Belkin BlueTooth receiver with a 12V to 5V power supply from eBay. NO MORE CORDS. And way cheaper than a new head unit.
