we are looking to buy a 2005 prius used. do all of the cars have the aux input for ipods? where exactly is this located?
No, they were added beginning with 2006. However, there are various aftermarket options for adding an aux input, mostly via the changer port.

Also, there's a difference between the generic AUX Input and the iPod connection. 2006+ cars have the AUX Input. The iPod connector is extra. I have a 2005 and I added DICE's iPod connector which comes with both AUX and iPod connection for a pretty good deal here at the PC shop. The other more expensive alternative is VAIS' unit.

For about $10.00 I bought a cable at Radio Shack with a male connector on both ends. Pluged one end into the aux input and the other end into my ipod nano. It works perfectly. Warren
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(westofrome @ Mar 5 2007, 04:10 PM) [snapback]400535[/snapback]</div> also a base 2006/2007 (with no option packages) will not have the AUX input
so the DICE does work on the 2005? cool. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Tideland Prius @ Mar 5 2007, 11:12 PM) [snapback]400654[/snapback]</div>
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(jrod81 @ Mar 6 2007, 11:05 AM) [snapback]401025[/snapback]</div> It does on mine. I have the JBL system though. It should work with the base audio unit but double check with those who have the base audio unit.
