Connecting Usb Or An Mp3 Player To Aqua 2014

[lochana]

My toyota aqua didn't come with a USB port or an aux in. There may be a bluetooth option but I can't read japanese. There is a music button on the right hand side with two closed ports. Is there any place in Sri Lanka that installs usb ports like below with out changing the original multimedia unit?

This can be bought off eBay for $20-40, and the adapter device for it for another $40. Connects to a special data port behind the oem device, (may vary based on the device)

As for the aux in, if there is no port behind the unit, a good electrician can solder one in. You can then buy a similar combo port with USB and 3.mm aux in and solder it together. Many online DIYS for this

But I'd advice you to invest on a premium media device, as the OEM device displays in Japanese and you are pretty much missing its functions, as far as I know the language cannot be changed. An aftermarket proper branded device has all these features built it and will integrate the steering controls as well.

Don't fall for the Rs. 20,000-30,000 range faux products carrying a brand name. A genuine unit spans above Rs 50,000

What would you recommend and where to buy in SL? Pioneer? Thanks.

All I know is that so called "music button" doesn't have anything to do with music. It comes as a safety option with new hybrids. When you press it , the sound of the hybrid motor is enhanced and given out so that the people can hear a vehicle is coming. Otherwise when the engine is off and motor is working ,it is almost impossible to hear the vehicle coming and can cause accidents.

I end up buying a KENWOOD unit..
