my parents have a set of lexuses (lexi?), and i have noticed a lack of toyota/lexus auxiliary adapters. i’d like them outfit them with an ipod solution other than the cassette adapter. too bad these are priced like they’re the first to market, too…

I wonder if this will work in the 2007 Prius. I have aux in, but would be nice to control the iPod through the steering wheel and head unit. $200 isn’t bad pricing considering the price of comparable iPod solutions for Toyotas (which have some limitations in terms of control and browsing by different categories).

About time!!
My Scion has an aux port, but it is down near the shifter and the parking brake, and its for MP3 players other than my iPod.
I can’t wait to get my hands on this and by able to fill in the missing piece in my car stereo setup.
