i tried out one by peripheral called isimple. the instructions said i needed a "SAT" or an "AM/SAT" button. do i really? i hooked up everything, but it was not showing up on stock deck. i couldn't figure out how to toggle on to it. i knew it was hooked up properly cuz it was charging my ipod. could it be the dip switches? it had 4 of em. which interface will definitely work for me? anyone selling one?

Great minds think alike. I just ordered one from Crutchfield. Can't wait to install it! I think I'm going to run the connection into the center console glovebox vice the glove box. :rock:

I ran mine through the cup holder. Just leave the cable out with about 8 inches and push in the cup holder. gives you enough room to play with it while driving and you don't have to go digging through $hit.

do you have one installed? how do you switch back and forth between it and radio/cd?

I got the 15 which also works with my iPhone. Just push the buttons on the head unit or source button if you got aftermarket.

I had the USA-Spec DF-TOY previously and you toggled back and forth between it and cd with the "disk" button. :top:

i see. i'm debating on going back to the peripheral isimple brand to try one more time. what do you guys think? there are 4 dip switches. should all be on? should the configuration be the same as the usa spec? i don't remember if i tried pressing disk...
