T180 Auxillary Point

[SMH13]

Hello

Could someone help me in locating the auxillary point on my 2007 T180 please ?

Want to play my music from my mobile ( awaiting a call for Toyota as they find out ! )

Thanks, sorry if this is obvious , I have looked through both manuals too .

I'm afraid it doesn't have one.

In the N. American RAV4, the AUX input jack is inside the center console, just below the power port. If there's a blank plate there, then you don't have it.

Oh,

Any ideas how I can listen to my music on my android phone through the stereo ?

Thanks for your help

What radio is in your car? Sat nav unit?

Ok, it depends on what outputs your phone is capable of?

The B9004 unit in the T180 will not receive high(er) quality audio over bluetooth (A2DP). The later units will. (B9017 for example).

Does the phone have a "standard" 3.5mm or 2.5mm audio output socket or similar?

As Anchs says there is no aux input. There is in later EU market RAVs. Just to clarify US headunits and setup are different.

If you are not to bothered about getting the best audio quality the system will allow, one option would be an FM transmitter based thing e.g.:

which might be the simplest option.

Otherwise, you will I'm afraid have to pull the satnav out and plug something in the back.

Toyota do an ipod only adapter. You won't get ipod text displayed with it on that satnav though I believe.

There are several manufacturers of aux input boxes that plug in. Not an exhaustive list but two that spring to mind:

I had an old connects2 aux adapter that was incompatible with that headunit.

I've played with the grom unit. Good spec on paper, but it was slow to respond. That might give a bluetooth option too.

There are other adapters. I'm sure other members will advise.

Xcarlink. Has mmc card, usb input, auz input, and for and extra 50 earth pounds you van get a blue tooth adapter. That says it does A2DP as Well as hands free. Plugs into the back of your sat nav.

"one option would be an FM transmitter based thing" - Although I had a couple of these in the past that were utterly hopeless, I recently bought one that works really well with my iPod in my 4.2.

If Stella's interested I'll post the details on here.
