Answer 1

if she has a USB port in her car,you need the same cord which you plug your iPod into the computer with.

if she has an Auxiliary jack you need an Auxiliary cable.

Well, if you have access to a local electronics store, you can save money, as you don't need an authentic iPod aux cable. It costs more just for the marketing. All you need to find is a cable with a white RCA phono jack, and a red one as well. On the other end is the headphone jack input. Also, you can make a homemade cable. All you need to do is to get an old pair of headphones. If the cord is kind of stiff, it will be an easier cord to use. Cut a portion off and strip the plastic off, exposing 2 wire ends. The 1st one is just bare and will be evaluated as the - end, and the other is contained in another tube of plastic insulation, which will be evaluated as the + end. Take some old RCA phono cords and cut a portion of the wires off. Strip the cords, revealing the wires. Twist the - ends of the cords together and the + ends together as well, making sure the + side does not make contact with the - side. After that's done, tape it off with electrical tape. NOTE: There is another type of headphone cord, which will be unusable. If you strip your headphone cord and some wire is exposed, one side is colored blue or red, and the other is plain copper or silver. These ones are unusable. Good luck! Hope you can jam out to your iPod on your home stereo soon!

For the Scion use this kit

http://kits.310radio.com/index.php/i-toyota-r.html

Use coupon code "cybermonday".



They are direct connect kits that let you control the iPod from the factory radio.

The sound quality is like a cd and you can play the iPhone Pandora app through this kit.



It also has an aux input for zune or other mp3 players.
