stock input for premium system, custom input Options

[Rayme]

Hi, I got the premium system installed in my car and by the time I have enough money to revamp the whole thing I'd like to know if theres a way beside a cassette adapter to make my ipod play into the deck, is there something behind I could use for getting a clear input, even if it involve soldering...I'm even game to crack open the deck!

Oh and by the way..what happens if I remove the battery, the car manual says I'll have to input a code, which I obviously don't have

you'd have to get in touch with the toyota dealer about that code

Most manufacturers have an after market adapter that wires between your deck and an ipod "dock" that allows you to not only play through the stereo but also control the ipod from the head unit.

not for a toyota stock deck
you have to have a aftermarket deck with the cd changer I/O port to get a gadget like that

there was this adapter thing somebody posted a while ago that connects to your anntenna cable. one end of the cord attaches in-line to the antenna plug (on the back of the factory deck) while the other end is a 3.5mm headphone (male) plug to plug into your ipod or mp3 player. if someone knows what i'm talking about, pls post what it is...

currently i'm using a Sony FM transmitter and am getting pretty good sound but the low and hi ends are a bit scratchy through the speakers.

Yea, i know BestBuy sells a thing called "IPlug" and it runs from the back of your deck and comes out the other end with a normal headphone jack. I just used a cord with two 35mm jack ends and hid it. Works great, no need to worry about a transmitter.

is the cord you're referring to have the red and white RCA plugs on the ends? i was talking about the actual anntena plug on the back of the deck since oem decks don't have AUX input for RCA jacks.
