iPod in a 2005 Carolla

I was wondering if there where any *tidy* solutions replacement
equipment that I can get for the car that would allow me to use my iPod

My iPod works just fine with the radio in my 2000 Echo. If you're going to
use it mostly for the car, it's worth it to invest in the "RoadTrip" by
Griffin, because it charges as well as transmits. If you're using it a lot
in your house and car, then get the regular dock. I hope that helps -
maybe I'm not following what you're asking, though.

Probably not with the stock system.

My son bought a 2006 Corolla and immediately had the whole system
replaced with a 2K system at Sound Advice. He can use his IPOD with
that....LOL

btw the installation Sound Advice did was outstanding.

The FM transmitters give awful sound - go with an auxiliary imput jack.

Maybe with the Corolla - but the Echo's sound system is great, IMO

It puzzles me that auto radio options do not include a simple set of either
RCA jacks or mini plug input.
All sorts of portable players have been available for many years, which
could benefit from that.

Seem auto designers are busy, as always changing the shape of the brake
light lenses, but forget about a very practical addition to their expensive
sound systems.

Agree 100% - now they seem intent on integrating steering wheel controls, in
the glass multiple antennas and strange shaped openings so you have a
difficult time replacing their $100 mediocre radio with a $300 superior
unit! Yota is worse - at least Nissan smartened up a few years ago. Shame
on Yota for their radio and crappy Dunlop/Goodyear/Firestone tires.
