IPOD connections -quick clarification
Fellas with IPODs:
I would like the option to charge the IPOD/use head controls - I see that to connect to my rear changer cable I'll need the GM10 and then the PAC AUX-POD to connect to that.
I see that members have used this option - question - from the pictures of the GM10 it appears to only use the RCA connections - how in $%#^ name would it charge the IPOD? And how will the head unit get the data signal on the data line to look for the AUX input?
Here is a grouping of the items:

If you are connecting the iPod2car using your changer cable located in the rear of the Corvette (trunk in Verts and Z06), then this is what your rig should look like:
It does NOT have RCA cables. Using the P.I.E. AB-GM10 (Peripheral cable PXHGM2) as the interface between the iPod2car and the Bose changer cable (which must be removed from the changer), the iPod charges through the Corvette's changer cable. I repeat.... the rig does NOT use RCA connectors. It uses the cable connection that WAS attached to your changer. This supplies the necessary power to charge the iPod (thru the iPod2car device).

I used the setup EscapePod posted, along with a COR-HAR as my C5 didn't have a factory CD changer. Since you have a factory CD changer, you already have the COR-HAR.
The audio is excellent and the head unit controls work fairly well. The iPOD charges when on the cable and it turns on and off when the head unit is turned on or off.

Chas.

Did you go with a factory COR-HAR harness? If so, Do you have a part number for it ?

OK one more question - on my other vehicle that uses the IPOD-compatible connection, the IPOD is totally unuseable and all functions are contolled by the head unit - playlist displays, artists, etc.
I see that songs can be advanced by the Bose head unit on the C5, but confirm all other functions are useable on the IPOD - i.e. it's not 'locked out' like it is with my Alpine unit?
Thanks,
Smash

My setup replaced my second failed Bose (actually, its made by Pioneer) changer. No more skips/dropouts when I drive over a tiny pebble in the road.... plus, lots more music.

Forget the Ipod box connection. I decided to go with an UP grade Alpine Radio, that has a direct conect in the back for an IPOD.
Cost wise, It is cheaper to just get the NEW Alpine radio then to install all these harnesses and extra Ipod boxes.

If I changed out the head unit, I'd rather get an entire nav screen, re-do the plastic surround, etc - already spent 8K on this car this month, stereo is last priority really but I sure get tired of 12 CD's so at least I've got my IPOD now - just spent 3 days ripping my 400 CD's so now I've got 60GB of tunes now, still building all my playlists...

Allright, I just finished putting in the NEW ALpine and all I can say is WOWOWOWOWOW.
I originally replaced the stock speakers and kept the Bose Radio, but still got tired of looking at those big damn buttons.
I noticed the improvement in sound right away. IPOD hooked up easy.
