It's fantastic news for Toyota and Lexus owners, as the car company has just released an iPod adapter kit to directly link the player with your car's audio system. The kit fits into all current Toyotas and Lexuses and connects inside the glove box so you can control the iPod with your head unit (or steering wheel controls). The whole thing costs $300 (more than most iPods), and finally brings Toyota in line with GM, Ford, BMW, Mercedes and Audi in offering iPod integration. Toyota: happily being #1 by letting everyone else innovate beforehand

hmm ... i wonder how hard it be to install that in a '04 GX470

I think I would want this

I don't own an iPod, and I don't want to. I'll stick with an AUX jack.

"Connects inside the glove box"??? There isn't anything connector-wise in my ES350 glove box. I presume they mean the cables provided can only reach that far.

I wonder how this compares to the Vaistech unit. It would be interesting to compare features as the prices are similar. The only thing I know the Vaistech unit would have that the Toyota unit wouldn't is the automatic bypass of the annoying I AGREE button upon startup with navigation. If the Toyota unit allowed unlimited playlists and other features not available with Vaistech that would be very cool.

Whoever buys one please let the rest of us know how it performs.

I think it's meant to mount inside the glovebox.
