    I just bought a cheapy 1G IPod Shuffle... To me, it looks like I won't be able to use it in my Prius? I don't want a fancy tool to make it work in my car, and I don't have a tape deck so what do I do? You guys are the experts so guide me :)

    Do you have the AUX input? If so, just go to Radio Shack and get a 1/8" jack to 1/8" jack cable. Plug that into your AUX input and your headphone output.

    i keep forgetting (and it's been a long day...) do all '06's have the AUX jack, or does it start at a certain point?

    Anyways, with the aux jack you can get a 1/8" male to male audio cable (basically has the same ends as your headphones) and use it with any audio device you can use headphones with. should run you a couple of bucks or less.

    Unfortunately, there's no way to fully integrate it into the car. If your model doesn't have an aux jack, you *could* get the Dice unit and use the aux jack on that to connect it - but once again, you wouldn't have screen info or steering wheel control over the unit (plus, it would be a bit expensive).
