I asked a buddy of mine and he gave me these three links:

http://www.installer.com/ipod/
http://www.discountcarstereo.com/detail.aspx?ID=684
http://www.installer.com/item/displa...hp?it=xiah-ty1

Now I gotta find out which will work with the 07 Taco cause
so far it isn't specifically listed as being compatible with
what I've looked at. I'll let ya'll know if I find something
that works for me.

thanks for the links.. i am aware of all of those products tho.. if you follow the link that i put in my post, it will take you to a listing about a OEM TOYOTA ipod adaptor.. that is certified by apple.. i dont want aftermarket products

im curious if anyone has heard about this OEM solution

I'm interested in this...and the $300 price tag doesn't bother me if it works correctly. I just bought the new Scosche Toyota ipod integration kit. It works decent...but not perfect. It allows you to use the stock stereo to navigate the ipod, but gets stuck now and then, and sometimes skips around a little...it doesn't allow controls from the steering wheel (other than volume). It does have text, but limited. I'd say its a little "buggy" now...and maybe it will get an update soon. I'm going to call and see if I got a lemon, or if this is the expected way it works. It does give you a AUX input as well, and allows the use of XM radio also (so three inputs total).

I don't care if its OEM or not... you can get MUCH better HU and an iPod adapter for $300 or less. Remember, OEM = $$$$$

$300 is a lot money for ipod integration to a factory stereo. The fact is people complain about every single freakin' ipod solution out there, literally. This will be nothing new. It won't be perfect like every other integration on the market and complaining will ensue.

I got a great deal on an Alpine HU with an ipod cable, and the damn thing works near flawless. Plus, the sound quality of it is far above that of the factory stereo. why bother with a factory stereo? they stink

I read about this earlier this week as well

http://www.tuaw.com/2007/09/02/toyot...tegration-kit/

As it says in your link and this, it will be available for all current Toyota and Lexus models, which the "current" gen Tacomas (our's) fall under.

I am excited about this. OEM parts can always be had for less than list if you just look. I am interested to see how well this works, since what it claims to do is better than what is out there.

The more I like at the different items and debate, the more I consider just going with an Alpine unit that does all the same things, all while sounding/looking better, and essentially costing the same, or maybe a little more.

Agreed, what a bunch of crap....$300! Ahhhh it says Apple on it.....in that case. Why most people go with Ipod? I'm not bashing anyone, just
I have Creative brand and love it.


I also use the DF-Toy
