iPod question on 08 Prius

I actually just got my first iPod in June. I figured, i paid for the AUX input, i hate having 54 CD's so why not. It is much easier to organize.

I think the jack should work as the Shuffle or Nano use the standard iPod headphones.

 

Hi there,
I've often wondered why so many on this site have Dice i-pod intergration as part of their mods...they don't have the AUX input,
I'm in Ireland,have a 2006 Prius[luxury pack]and AUX is standard,i'm sure your's is the same,my wife bought me an i-pod last Christmas and you'll need a 3.5mm jack to jack lead,that goes from headphone jack to AUX,dont get one with too much lenght,i know also that a lead can be had that goes from the USB type connector at the bottom of the i-pod to the 3.5mm AUX jack and that apparently charges the i-pod also,the lead i mentioned earlier does not charge the i-pod,but i find i can get 3 or 4 days from a charge,
I hope that's useful info!!

 

I use the Kensington LiquidAux iPod/iPhone adapter in my 2006 with the AUX input. If you can, you want to try an get something that plugs in through the dock connector rather than using the headphone jack on the iPod. MUCH better sound, it's a direct-out connection, seriously night-and-day when you compare the two. Plus, it has the added benefit of keeping your iPod charged. So, basically, you plug in to the power jack in the center console. The jack has one line coming out of it that connects to the dock connector of the iPod, and another short cable that plugs into the AUX connection also in the center console. I used to use the Belkin iPod Car Kit, which was basically the same thing, but it wasn't compatible with the newer iPods so I had to switch to the Kensington one. A little more expensive than just a simple 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable, but with the added benefits of charging the iPod and the better sound, it was worth it to me. Of course, I'm a gadget nerd as it is, so that probably has something to do with it too.
