First series audio system

[Simone]

I am again with you to ask for light ...
I am desperately looking for an auxiliary socket, an external socket that allows me to listen to music via bluetooth from the phone.
I can't find anything !!! Is it possible that the first series has no external socket?
It is the first Full version, hands-free telephone etc.
Thank you all

On the US-spec Land Cruiser it's above the shifter

I don't think the AUX port was added to LC200 until 2010.

Land Cruiser added a few enhancements for 2010 model year including the addition of privacy glass on the rear hatch and Safety Connect telematics system. The audio system added integrated satellite radio with a 90-day trial subscription to XM Satellite Radio, Bluetooth® and an auxiliary audio jack/USB port. New options included rain-sensing windshield wipers added to the Upgrade Package and a navigation system with XM NavTraffic.

Odd on the pre-2010 thing. This is my 2008. 1/8th" jack gets used for music/podcast/etc, since Bluetooth module in the '08 did not have audio BT profile(s) implemented; only phone calls. (note: the flappy cap includes a little extrusion to seat itself inside the 1/8" jack hole, so I'm gonna assume that this is OEM and not PO retrofit)

Chances are very good that you can solder an aux buggy-whip from the back of the head unit an run through dash panels. I sincerely doubt that Toyota would have used two different head unit designs across two model years, especially '08 to '10; the aux pins should be back there. (total conjecture)

They don't make it anymore, (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/griffi...bluetooth-transmitter/7841252.p?skuId=7841252) but this along with a 3 inch 3.5 to 3.5 worked on my 2008 for 5 years, never had a problem.

maybe someone else makes something like ti

Thanks!!!
I have no such entrance, maybe I should try to take everything apart and see if there is anything in the back.
I was interested in being able to listen to the misuca from the phone via bluetooth.
You say there is no software update that allows this?

Here is an aftermarket adaptor.

AUX cable input car stereo kit Toyota Land Cruiser 2009

LC Brochures don’t mention AUX until 2010 models.

@Simone I very much doubt that there is a way to update the firmware of a built-in Bluetooth chipset. Assuming for a moment that the BT module is capable of handling BT audio (e.g., A2DP), even if some super tech-head could figure it out (J-TAG anyone?), the UI of the Toyota head unit would also have to be reprogrammed to 'see' the BT audio profile and bring it to the surface as an audio input option.

The 'find the aux pins' approach is much more realistic. Before you dismantle, I suggest also searching for a Grom (or like) product to hijack the CD player audio channel with an aux jack adapter. (edit: LOL, like @lx200inAR said just one post up...)

Can you take a picture of your center stack? And the gear shift area? There were definitely regional differences in what was offered; so getting a picture will help this mostly US based forum help you better.

I finally managed to uninstall everything...
So as you can see from the photos there is a cap for the USB socket that is not present.
So I assume it was prearranged.
Now I ask someone who has disassembled it if there is a cable to insert to buy separately.
I have two free plugs

The plugs that I have free are the small ones you see in the picture.
