Answer
the 2007 Toyota don't have cd changer port because the cd changer is part of the radio
you have mp3 port and satellite port  
a lot of people are buying the grom thing from ebay and having problems with that interface  

there are only 2 ipod interfaces i recommend for your vehicle
the I TOYOTA-R from dice electronics or the PA12-TOY from usa specs  

this interfaces plug into the Toyota radio using the changer,satellite or mp3 port  they also display all the ipod text on the Toyota radio  or lexus radio
