Heres a side by side picture of the old and the new accessory ports on Toyota:

But keep in mind that the modelyears printed on the picture are "general" as the new plug was slowly introduced over the entire Toyota range....over time.

In my opinion...the old accessory plug on the left denotes...no text support...while the new one on the right denotes text support.

All understood on previous replys, which I appreciate highly. I have t27 avensis which is the subject of this thread. I'm a electrician and know all the backgrounds and how they work. It was just that dension homepage said different than your links about even sending cd text to headunit, because that is something I would love to have. Also since I'm living in Finland delivery costs can change a lot depending where I would buy it. 

I've actually had a 2011 T27 myself a few years ago so I'm quite familiar with this headunit 🙂 But to be completely honest..being in the  business of aftermarket caraudio...i exchanged it for an aftermarket one back then...and only put the OEM unit back in...when i traded in the T27 for another car at the dealership 🙂

What about SK-Autosound? They should be able to sell you a unit without the hassle of importduty/tax and massive freight costs?

Now I have to drum this one! I found this xCarLink unit that displays texts from usb stick via cd changer connection. Buy all you can while you can from xCarLink 😉 It reads fairly fast stick and audio quality is way better than any other adapter I have heard. Price was still pretty decent

I have Toyota bluetooth kit installed on my CD changer port, i saw they sell Y splitter cables online, but first i dont know if that would even work, or what would happen if i would to receive a call while playing some music.

Did you maybe stumble upon someone trying to put more than 1 device on this port?

First of all with xcarlink it's id3 tags version 2.3 with ISO standard that work. You can change them in mp3tag.de software. Remember to remove other id3 versions to get it working.

And now to your question, yes they should work. My setup is that I'm connected via bluetooth to my cars stock bluetooth for calling. Secondary I have in center console bluetooth receiver (on dual usb car charger) and straight 3.5mm cable to aux in to use it for listening music via bluetooth. My phone can have two simultaneous bluetooth connections.

Now I have on cd changer only the xcarlink, but there is also a bluetooth module that you can connect to xcarlink if you don't have preinstalled bluetooth on your car.

I have installed y-cable on t22 avensis, but the yatour was jamming all the time so I really can't say did it work with stock changer.
