SoundLinQ (Model SLI) - Auxiliary Input Adapter with Apple® iPod™ interface

(fits most Toyota/Lexus vehicles 2001-2009)
Our SLI adapter allows you to have one universal audio Auxiliary input (uncontrolled source) and one audio input dedicated to integrate your Apple® iPod™ directly into Toyota/Lexus OEM audio system (controlled source).
You can now listen and control your iPod™ through the vehicle's head unit and audio steering wheel controls. No more Cassette Adaptors, FM Transmitters, or Cigarette Lighter Chargers. Enjoy the clear, genuine high quality sound through your factory audio system.
SLI provides direct Plug-and-Play connection to Toyota/Lexus OEM audio system and supports vehicles with and without Navigation system.
Lexus iPod™ integration via MD changer emulation

Lexus GX470 iPod™ integration
MD changer emulation mode

Our unique technology allows you to keep all factory installed components (such as 6-disc CD changer, CD/DVD changer). When you connect SLI to the audio system, Toyota/Lexus recognizes it as an additional CD, MD or CD-MP3 changer.

Emulation modes

Audio AUX Input is universal auxiliary input and it enables you to connect uncontrolled Audio aftermarket equipment such as Satellite Radio Receiver, MP3 player, MiniDisc player/changer and etc. This source provides NO control over added aftermarket equipment. Added equipment operates through the factory Audio system and can only be controlled by its own controls.

Audio input dedicated for Apple® iPod™ can only be used for iPod™ integration. Control of iPod™ is done through your head unit or the steering wheel controls. SLI supports both third and fourth generation of iPod™ and iPod™ Mini.

To switch between the SLI sources you need to use "DISC" or "CD" button on the head unit (Diagram below assumes factory CD changer is present).

If your vehicle is equipped with a factory steering wheel control you will be able to switch between the SLI sources using "MODE" button on the steering wheel.
