Iphone to Aux port

2008 3 Door Yaris

Can you play music through the Aux Port from an Iphone?

If you can would it charge your Iphone at the same time?

Where can you buy the correct cable to connect?

Thanks,

Rich

yes

If your Aux port is the standard 1/8th" phono plug, then yes you can play your iPhone MUSIC through it. You cannot charge through it, as only the '30-pin dock connector' port will charge. Don't expect to make/receive phone calls through it either...
The cable should look like this;

with the 1/8th" plug on both ends...one end goes into iPhone, the other goes into the Aux port. The stereo treats it as a generic MP3 player (or any other audio player for that matter). The cable can be found basically anywhere that sells stereo cables or headphones.

I did just find out by accident that if you have your iphone connected to a bluetooth earpiece and you are plugged into the AUX port and receive a phone call you can hear the other person talk through your car speakers (almost like surround sound lol) while they hear what you say through the headset .... i thought it was pretty cool! :-D

That's strange...you would think the bluetooth connection would cut out the audio from the audio port...were you listening to music from the phone via Aux while using bluetooth for cellular?

I imagine, as far as the Iphone knows, your using headphones, so it still outputs sound through the audio jack.
So you could clip the bluetooth headset to the visor if you wanted, and go hands and "headfree" operation while in the car? LOL

Looking for some help. When I plug my iphone 4 into the aux port and hit the aux button, it will not recognize it. Has anyone else had this problem. I could use my Ipod nano without problem. Now all my music is on the iphone. Any help would be appreciated.

I plugged an iPhone 3GS into the Aux port on my '07 sedan no problem. Believe I had to press 'iPod' on the phone. Didn't try a 4, sorry. I'm assuming you pressed 'iPod' on the phone to go into iPod mode?

I pressed the iPod button etc. I'm going to try a different device that I know works later and see if the port has a problem

I think that would be kind of hard to pull off. Even for the most skilled driver.

Aux port

Hey guys,

I have a 2002 Yaris and just purchased a monster car changer and audio cable, but I can't find the audio port in my car anywhere. If anyone has any idea where I could fine it I would much appreciate it.
Thanks,
Amber.
