3.5mm auxillary input for toyota avensis TR 2007

bubblesmoney

hope some one can help me out.

I need to be able to play music via bluetooth or aux in on my factory fitted (single CD with satnav unit) on toyota avensis TR 2007 . My car also has an add on toyota bluetooth module but that only does phone calls and not music via bluetooth. My present unit doesnt have aux in either.

I was looking to buy something like this http://www.incarexpress.co.uk/view_product.php?partno=CTVTYX002 to get aux in capability to which i plan to attach my existing http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Bluetooth-Receiver-Enhancement-Smartphone-Black/dp/B00G9YK7LS bluetooth NFC receiver

But the aux in cable (given in the first link) in the small print at the bottom says "Please note: This interface is not compatible with the standard Toyota Navigation unit." My unit is the factory fitted satnav unit with single cd radio.

Anyone who has fitted 3.5mm aux cable to a toyota satnav cd unit here?? Any pointers much appreciated.

Have looked into parrot and IO play2 but those wnt work apparently with steering controls as per the car audio shop, so i would rather spend less and just get aux in and use my existing sony BM10 with NFC for my car audio requirements.

Any help much appreciated from any car audio knowledgeable people here.

i have been looking at the xcar link for my toyota avensis 2007 but the small print says that it is not for navigation units.

My CD radio dash system has built in satnav. Are you saying that your factory installed satnav system works with the xcar link, is so which model please. Can you give me a link and how much was the fitting charge and cost.

They all show the radio without navigation unit in photos.

I use one of these: http://www.xcarlink.co.uk/product.php?productid=35&cat=11&page=1. As you'll see, the last picture is a B9000 full screen satnav.

You haven't said what model satnav you have, but I found xcarlink were happy to offer money back if it didn't work.

ABout 30 mins to fit - I found the instructions for taking the radio out at http://www.toyota-tech.eu/

I've also fitted a parrot and a reversing camera to mine.

Thanks.

my satnav unit looks like the B9000 model. does your satnav unit sound get disconnected after you used this device or did you also use a splitting cable like the one i have linked to below.

I ordered something similar but half the price on ebay.

but some forums state that satnav volume might be not possible on some units if satnav uses same input as this aux adapter. and also one needs type 1 input if after 2003. So bought the linked type 1 adapter from ebay and also bought the split input cable just in case it disconnects satnav. The split input cable i bought is this

can you please link the rev camera you got and why did you need the parrot if you had the aux input?
