MP3 player help
Hello,
I bought a new MP3 player last week and I'm planning to connect it to my "new Yaris" 2008 model. My problem is that I don't "see" any audio entry (AUX?) to connect a cable like this: http://www.cablestogo.com/product.as...2002&sku=40411 Does the regular yaris radio got his entry (AUX)? where is it? I also consider to install the mp3 entry for ipod, but is so expensive... really to expensive! What's the best option? Best Regards and many thanks Hugo Last edited by hafgoncalves; 01-27-2009 at 06:37 AM. Reason: Correction |

The jack should be by your e-brake, if your car has one. They are standard in the US, and I understand that they are an option in Canada; hence, not every Yaris come standard with one, and I'm not sure about Portugal. Look on the center consul under the handle of the e-brake.

Imagine that I really have that luck... then I don't have to install a AUX entry or something or it will be there when I open it? Best regards, and many thanks in advance |

Exactly - The best case is that your head unit supports an Aux input, and in that case, you can order the appropriate cable assembly.

Could be a good excuse to buy a new radio with an Aux port on the front...
Otherwise you can get a MP3 transmitter device that will broadcast to the FM radio you have. The sound isn't quite as nice, but it's 1/8 the cost of a new radio or having an aftermarket Aux port put in. In my LB the Aux port is on the center console just to the right of the hand brake. |

Yup he's right. But with some convincing the dealer did throw in a cd player with an AUX connector. |

Yep, Yaris EU doesn't have AUX entry. Toyota doesn't support it, they told me that I must install the Ipod connector... 250€!!! OMFG!!!
Guess that I have to buy a new radio or that cable! Does anyone know if its possible to add an Aux entry or where I can buy it? Cheers to you and to Yaris!! |

http://cgi.ebay.es/Toyota-Yaris-99-0...3286.m63.l1177 This may be an option, but I would check to make sure it is really compatible with your exact radio... |

Hugo,
Not sure what your interior looks like exactly, but I have the US 2008 Manual Yaris Sedan, and there are two small storage bins (each could hold 2 CD cases) on the left and right of the center consol (just to the right of your calf if your foot was on the gas pedal). The AUX jack is in the right one on the front vertical panal, facing towards the rear. Mine fits the kind of plug you show in your link. Let me know, I'm curious about all the little differences between models around the world. |
