I looked around and short of pulling the stereo out I did not see anything. Supposedly the standard Pioneer car stereo that came with my xD 2010 should have this jack in order to hook up an external amp and subs and what not. I've performed many searches via google to no avail regarding the location of this jack. Any help?
Oh, and once I know where the jack is - did Scion go the extra step and make running the wires easier for us too? That would be sweet!

Just finished my amp & Sub install in my 2010 XD, but haven't powered up yet. RCA output jacks are located on the bottom left corner of the unit, if looking from the back. So, sitting in the passenger seat, glove box (BOTTOM ONE) removed, you'll notice a metal bracket thats at the upper left corner. If your hand can fit thru, like mine barely did, you can just reach the bottom corner, thus feeling your way to the jacks. As for making it easy to run wires? Yes and NO! remote, RCA's, sub wires & ground - yes. Power wire, NADA. With all my reaserch, which was a lot, you either drill your own hole somewhere in the firewall, which I DO NOT recommend, or , remove the battery, find the main wiring harness going thru it's rubber grommet of the firewall (top right of the mater cylinder looking from the front), and pushing your wire thru it. TO be honest,.....it was pissin' me off for about an hour, but I got it. Would have been easier if my garage was bigger and I wasn't parked with my driver side against the wall to allow me to work more on the passenger side. Power and remote under the center console to dash, RCA's under front passenger door thresshold to dash, rear sub wires under rear passenger threshold to rear hatch area & ground right at the amp. These are all coming ferom under the front passenger seat, where I mounted my amp. Thresholds are just clipped on the frame, real easy there.
I have pics, can load them in a c ouple of days if you like?
