Default PIE adapter?

I've got a 2005 xA Release Edition 2, and I'm trying to set up an aux-in port into the head unit. Since it's the 2005, it doesn't have the aux-in under the ebrake. From what I understand, I can buy an adapter that plugs into the CD Changer on the back of the radio and then comes out as an RCA jack.

However, I'm really confused--do I want the TOY03-AUX or the TOY03-AUX/S? The description for each is rather sparse. The TOY03-AUX is apparently "Not compatible if factory satellite radio is present", which I think it is? But the other description doesn't really point me in the right direction.

Anyone have any experience with these things, specifically with the stock 2005 head unit (not the 6cd changer)? I did a couple searches and didn't come up with anything. Thanks!

P.I.E continues to lead the pack and has released the TOY03-AUX/S Auxiliary input adapter for all 2005-Up Toyota radios with "SAT" button. Many of you may ask the difference between the AUX and the AUX/S. Newer Toyota radios do not have a cd changer port (The TOY03-AUX requires a cd changer port), the TOY03-AUX/S uses the Satellite Radio port instead and because of that the factory Satellite radio must be disconnected.
I think you need the TOY03-AUX/S for your 2005 HU. If you need a DIY guide click here:

On a side note, the guy who made guide above has an 05 HU and he used the TOY03-AUX. Maybe they both work? He said that with his you had to push CD button twice to activate AUX, but maybe with the TOY03-AUX/S model you only have to push the SAT. Your choice I guess.

Awesome, thanks for the guide. It seems feasible that they both work; I'll probably go with the regular old AUX then, since that's what he used and that looks exactly like my HU.
