This is interesting news. Maybe we will have another option.

iPod...

That'd be cool! Wonder how compatible the Prius and Scion radio are? With the special looking dash integration on the Prius it may not look factory, but I'm willing to bet the next Prius version WILL have iPod connectivity. Toyota would really be ignoring it's requests if they didn't...

Not at all compatible. The Scion has a regular double DIN pioneer head unit I think. The Prius has the head unit integrated into the MFMFD.

What would be nice is just an aux jack somewhere on the dash board so you could hook a line in into the system and at least hear the iPod. I don't expect full out integration, altho the iPod is the defacto standard these days I guess, but a line in would be very useful.

I disagree there. If the IPod adapter is a separate module, it would be no different than XM/Sirius. XM/Sirius doesn't necessarily require an MFD integrated audio from what I can tell. All it requires is AVC.
