Editorial Review
The new PA12TOY Lexus/Toyota/Scion iPod interface adapter provides direct connection for an iPod and an optional audio source such as satellite radio, DVD, or video game system. Both the iPod and the additional audio source can be selected from the factory radioâ??s front panel. The interface adapter connects the iPod to your factory Toyota or Scion radio as if it were a CD changer, allowing direct selection of iPod playlists through the radioâ??s preset (or disc) buttons and is compatible with all iPod models featuring the dock connector, including the iPod nano and 5G iPod video. The PA12TOY now adds artist and title display for text compatible Toyota/Scion radios. These radios will have a button marked "TEXT".

The PA12 series iPod interfaces have 3 operating modes available- Playlist, Direct, or Hybrid. In Playlist mode the controls on the radio will operate the iPod only, and the iPod's click wheel is locked out for safety while driving. In the Direct mode the iPod's controls are used to navigate through the iPod's menus and select songs, artists, playlists, etc. and the factory radio controls will provide volume/tone control only. The Hybrid operates like Playlist mode but the iPod controls are unlocked. All modes still charge the iPod while connected, for up to one hour to prevent over-charging.

2006 Tacoma

2008-01-13
Bought and installed in my 2006 Tacoma (w/factory stereo). Installed in 15 minutes (pry out the climate control panel, remove four bolts, slide out radio and plug in the new cables). Works great in hybrid mode (lets you use the factory CD player controls or the IPOD's controls to control the IPOD). Text display works fine with the Tacoma stereo.

Incredible product!

This is one of coolest "black box" gadgets I have had in a long time. I got this USA Spec PA12TOY ipod adapter for my 2008 Toyota Tacoma with 6 CD changer factory stereo (not JBL). Installation was a breeze (simple plug & play). I popped out the stereo, where there is an empty plug waiting on the back side. A cable from the USA Spec plugs into the empty plug of the radio. Then an additional cable runs from the USA Spec to your ipod. This USA Spec has additional RCA plugs that I connected my Sirius radio into (cable not included but only a few dollars). The unit is pretty small and was easilly hidden up behind my glove box. If you search the internet you may be able to find photos of individual installations and advice on how to take your radio out (I was for the Tacoma). Important to note that your CD changer is disabled with the use of this (but who needs CDs when you have your ipod?). For my radio/vehicle, the ipod operates under CD1-CD5 (corresponding to the first 5 playlists on my ipod). CD6 is the auxillary RCA plugs (my Sirius radio). I control the ipod either on the ipod itself, through the controls on the stereo, or on the steering wheel stero controls. USA Spec appears to upgrade the unit from time to time, so you should check their website for the latest unit that goes with your vehicle. I am extremely happy with the product and will be looking for one to go with my other vehicle. Highly recommended!!!
