Toyota announced today that iPod connectivity is now standard in all Scion 2008 models.

Every model, including the all-new Scion xD, re-styled 2008 Scion xB, and the new-for-2008 Scion tC, will ship with 160-watt Pioneer AM/FM/CD audio systems, which feature a head unit with iPod control. The head unit displays track, artist and album information from the iPod on a one-line display.

Connectivity is achieved by simply plugging the iPod into a port via a connector cable, providing outstanding sound quality through the car’s stereo system and constant power to the iPod.

Music is controlled through the head unit and steering wheel audio controls. The dock connector cable that attaches the iPod to the stereo charges the iPod’s battery, as well.

The upcoming Scion models will also feature rear head unit outputs that allow for external amplifiers to boost power to the front and rear speakers as well as the subwoofers.

A standard mini-jack port also allows users to listen to their portable music collection through the tC's Pioneer speakers.

Previously Scions offered connections as an option on xA and xB models.
