Scion upgraded Pioneer HU question - Toyota Yaris Forums

ozmdd · 12-23-2008, 05:31 PM

I just ordered the fancy upgraded Scion Pioneer HU,and it has full ipod control. I even got an ipod cable coming, but my question regards the connection between the unit and the cable. I know that in the Scions, there is a link cable that runs from the back of the HU to the console where the ipod interface cable plugs in. I do not have this link cable, but figure I can pull one at a junkyard if needed.
Will the ipod interface cable plug directly into the back of the HU (meaning the link cable uses the same plug, just acts as an extension cable) or will I need to have the link connection in order to make the interface cable functional? I plan to keep the ipod in one of the glove boxes, so I'm not concerned about the length of the interface cable.
