    The grey one on the center is the OEM USB/3.5 jack audio plug.

    Go to page 7 on this thread and you will get more info on this.

    as far as using the stock usb/aux ports; this fits and does the job? Axxess-AX-USB-35EXT

    and for using the stock steering wheel controls; this does the job? AX-TOY28SWC

    and since i am planning on the alpine cde-hd149bt; i can use the mic that comes w the alpine receiver, correct?

    let me know if i am understanding things correctly or if i am missing out on something, thanks!

    thanks again.

    does anyone have any pics of the AX-USB-35EXT installed? does it fit flush in the stock location?

    Don't forget you will also need the ASWC module as well with that harness.

    If anyone has actually tried or installed the AX-USB-35EXT please drop some knowledge on the rest of us and maybe a picture too!

    any reported problems w power? i'm not sure if i should be concerned.

    i plan on using the alpine pdx4.100 4 channel amp (stated 4 x 100w rms / tested slightly higher than 4 x 110w rms)
    and also a mono amp for a 10" subwoofer. i don't want to use my existing jbl 1200.1 amp or my alpine swr-1222d subwoofers. i'm thinking something in the 400w rms - 600w rms range. (800w rms - 1,000w rms between both amps)

    does anyone have any experience w a comparable setup? i saw actiondonkey's, which was roughly 660w rms?

    The ASWC-1. The ASWC has been discontinued, the big difference is that the -1 has a microUSB connector for firmware updates vs. a 4-pin header on the original that required a specific USB-to-serial adapter.

    And to save you the trouble - if you buy the ASWC-1 from amazon, at least the two I bought (for my Prius and Wife's Venza) in the last two weeks had the latest firmware...

    ^ something I'm interested in also.

    Probably going to take the plunge in the next coming weeks.

    So far the Appradio 3 looks very tempting.

    Good research! Do you think we'd need anything other than that adapter if we took the car to a regular stereo shop? (I scanned the last few pages but haven't studied)

    A stereo shop should have everything needed to install it properly. But one can't assume...
