GM is supposed to be releasing a product called the Personal Audio Link (PAL). It will be available from Genuine Corvette Accessories and installed by the dealer. It was scheduled for release in September but delays have pushed it out (planned) until the end of the year. The original press release states the following:

The Personal Audio Link iPod adapter, about the size of a deck of cards and not visible to the customer once installed, uses existing radio software, and is integrated through the radio’s digital XM Satellite Radio band.

Personal Audio Link Key Features – At a Glance

Seamlessly connects an iPod to the vehicle’s factory installed audio system

Charges iPod when ignition is on

Choose from English, Spanish or French language for function displays

Search and display music by genre, playlist, album, artist

Use seek function to move forward or reverse within a song for up to 15seconds

Select “shuffle” function to mix music

Sort music using “alphabetical jump” from A-Z list

Sort and select Podcasts and audio books by title

Control volume from steering wheel controls

Personalize text display in dynamic mode (radio display scrolls through artist, album, title, song, time remaining, etc.) or static mode (fixed on one display element such as artist)

Perform fast music searches using high-speed text display technology

I am loosing faith myself that this product will ever come to market...! They keep pushing it back and pushing it back. While I am happy they are trying to make sure it is right, it is ridiculous that it keeps getting pushed back. These are not difficult electronics to interface with and other manufacturers have ben doing it for years! Ridiculous!
