Ipod Interface for Camry


So I bought a Toyota Ipod Interface Adaptor from Axxess digital interface a brand of Metra Electronics Corporation at Circuit City. And it kinda doesn't fit my 2003 Camry since it is made for 2004-Up Camry. But I wanted to try anyway, since 2002-current Camrys are "similar".

Product Images:

The Ipod Interface will allow the user to play ipod in the car digitally. The Product has three components:
(1) Ipod Interface Box
(2) Cable connecting the interface box to the back of the radio
(3) Cable connecting the ipod to the interface box.


(1) Ipod Interface Box


The interface box has two ends, one connecting to the radio, one connecting to the ipod.


(2) Cable connecting the interface box to the back of the radio


The cable is a "Y-Cable" with one side connecting to the interface box and the other to the radio.


(3) Cable connecting the ipod to the interface box.




Getting My Hands Dirty:

So I took apart my radio unit and discovers.. this:




At the moment, I thought, darn it, it doesn't fit. There are three jacks in the back, I assumed the empty one was for my "Ipod Interface" But after detailed examination, I came up with a theory, it actually might work.

See, there are two connections to be plugged into the radio unit:




My theory: Plug B (already connected to radio by default) would come out and get plugged into B of the interface. While Plug A would get plugged into the radio. A and B will be routed to the Interface Box which will transmit audio from the Ipod.

Thoughts?
