    We just bought a used 2009 Prius (making us a 2-Prius family!) and it came with the integrated iPod cable in the glove box. Does anyone know where I can find an instruction manual so I can figure out how to use the thing?

    I can plug in the iPod and it works by starting alphabetically on track 1, but I don't see how to choose songs/playlists/albums other than skipping track by track.

    I was looking for one last week, but couldn't find it. It took me a few minutes to figure it out.

    You have to press Text on the MFD while you're in SAT(IPOD) mode.

    Then select how you want to browse by pressing the Channels (Playlist, artist, album, etc) on the screen, and then use the tune dial to browse through until you find what you want.

    There is only 1 line on top of the screen, and will display 1 thing at a time alphabetically and it is limited to like 10 characters i think.

    Once you've found the right one, hit the channel you selected previously again to set it. That's it, and then you can use the car steering control to skip tracks (or use the tune dial again). It's kind of crummy and limited, definitely not worth $400.

    I guess I have a different system because I don't have those options. I think it helps me figure out the basics of this one though.
