Digital IPOD solution for C6
The Alpine Vehicle hub will allow you to access your ipod as well as a myriad of other components directly from the GM NAV screen. I am still building a list of components that I will need for the install but have been assured by Alpine this will work.
Will keep CF updated

Yes - it will be a start -
But -- you will need more than that -
A video in to the OE Nav screen - to see what you are doing on the the Vhub-
then to get audio in the OE Nav unit - The Clean way to get it done-
Use the JL Cleansweep -
This will allow you to run the audio from the Vhub into the Stock radio path ..
Unfortunately -- the Cleansweep makes you add amplifiers to the rest of the system -
I just did a New Honda Pilot - this was a Great solution - (we changed all the stock speakers and added amps)

The cleansweep does 2 things --
First -- Gets rid of the autoEQ in the radio -- makes it sound good
Second - The Cleansweep has an AUX input to add the output from the Vhub- then you can hear the iPod / DVD / or any other Alpine source -
Hope that helps ..
Oh and one more thing --
Alpine will have a NEW version of the Cleansweep - with twice the EQ and for $100 less - Comming in the Spring -
