    But thats a picture of a trooper, not a vehicross, isnt it?

    The url even says "2001 trooper".

    Im confused.

    All just want to know if the adaptor that say its compatible with toyotas is also compatible with a 2001 Vehicross stock radio.

    Im a little slow, so be patient with me.

    Aha! You are correct sir.

    So that looks like its going to work: the Toyota adaptor will work with the VX stock stereo, plugging into the jacks used for the cd changer. (just documenting it for posterity).

    Thanks for clarifying!

    Thumbs up iPod to Toyota Interface works!!!

    Crutchfield's delivery took 4 business days from placing my order until receipt. I had to wait until today (Saturday) when I had time to fish around for the plug to the radio. It is official, the USA Spec iPod to Toyota interface works with the Vehicross stock radio. As Nazrat said, you just plug the interface cable into the cable that was connected to the Vehicross stock CD changer. Yup, you can control a few features on the iPod with the radio's CD controls. However, you can use all the iPod features if you have access to the iPod. I plan to mount the iPod holder this weekend. Will post a photo or 2 of the finished installation when I get done. Again, thanks Nazrat!!!! :yesg:

    Thumbs up iPodnano holder

    Here's the finished installation.

    Drilled a small hole (1/32?) into dash trim panel. Affixed 2-sided foam tape to SMOKE E-Z Clip for iPodnano and screwed it to the panel as seen. The holder is secure enough to allow for easy use of the iPodnano controls with one finger. I placed a piece of electrical tape over the silver screw to protect the back of the iPodnano. The USA Spec Model PA11-TOY iPod to Toyota car stereo interface sits behind the Isuzu CD Changer faceplate (CD changer removed). The interface plugged directly into the Vehicross stock radio.

    The Vehicross stock radio controls a few basic functions on the iPodnano using the CD changer controls. The iPodnano controls remain fully functional, too. Can't say enough thanks for Nazrat informing me of this USA Spec interface.

    Good job. My cable exits in the glove box and normally I just leave the iPod in there. I can skip around with the radio buttons. I have a Pro-Fit mount with a generic cell phone cradle and when I want to see the iPod I slip it in there. I really like having the pocket where the CD changer used to be.

    Be sure to set dipswitch 2 to off before installing otherwise your iPod will only display "TOYOTA" and you don't be able to see the song title or control the iPod with its buttons.

    First thing I did after opening the box was set that dipswitch according to your earlier post. Never tried the default setting.

    Does this set-up bypass the CD changer, or can you still use it?

    The interface connection replaces the CD Changer connection. The CD Changer cannot be used with the iPod interface connected.

    What I did was to use the aux input on the iPod adaptor to connect an external CD changer. I have a SONY FM modulated CD changer. Instead of connecting the output to the FM modulator I run the RCA cables directly to the iPod adaptor. The FM modulator part is just used as the screen/buttons for the CD changer.

    I sold my in-dash cd changer for $150 on E-Bay too.

    Can't imagine wanting a CD Changer in addition to an iPod. I bought the cheaper iPodnano with just 1 GB of memory, but I have over 15 hours of music on it.

    Well, me, actually.

    I have a lot more music than will fit on my 4GB Nano, so I keep the staples on there, but I also want to play the occasional miscellaneous CD, too. I don't like to reload the iPod every week to keep the selection fresh.

    We all use our iPods in different ways...

    Yup. I wasn't intending to be critical. For me, 15 hours of tunes on that little device is still amazing. I always found carrying around extra CDs an inconvenience when my CD changer was working. I like being free of CDs.

    Question iPodnano 6th generation & PA11-TOY

    Recently received an iPodnano 6th generation from Apple to replace my recalled iPodnano 1st generation. New problem with the 6th gen iPod is that the PA11-TOY does not recharge it. Fortunately, the music play features still work alright.

    Anyone know of a fix which enables the PA11-TOY to recharge the iPodnano 6th generation? TIA.
