iPod Nano (2nd gen) + iPod2Car + interface to CD
As noted above- those are the parts.
Bought the iPod2Car from a person on the Forum.
Bought the interface cable from Peripheral (#PXGHM2).
I have two Verts - a '99 and an '04.
Set up the iPod2Car with the correct switch settings.
Installed (temporary basis thank god) for testing in the '99.
Doesn't work.
So, installed on in the '04 - same thing, doesn't work.
Called Peripheral to verify switch settings - they are correct.
Swapped interfaces/iPods around - no benefit, still none work.
Anyone else have this issue (I did read a couple of other posts where this seems to be a common problem)?
What, if anything, did you do to make yours work?
As a note - I ordered the Kensington Digital interface from Apple - dang I hate it when a Forum members sells a product (to a lot of us
) that is a piece of crap 
Anyone need the above (sans the iPod) - PM me and for shipping I'll give them to you.
FIXED IT 
PROBLEM IS THE #2 SWITCH FOR e&m NEEDS TO FE OFF- not ON

i recently installed one for a forum memeber that purchased from him with the same cable and it worked no problems at all. IMO its prly the best way to do it on the C5 other then the auxbox which is cheaper. what exactly is it doing. also fyi if u have a changer you need to unplug the changer or it wont work

CD Changer (trunk) is unplugged.
The cable originally to the charger is where the Peripheral (#PXGHM2) is plugfed in, with the other end to the iPos2Car, and then the iPod is pluged into that cable end.
I did check with iPod2Car and they confirmed the connections were correct (and the switch settings for the Vette were correct).
They did say I am not the first person to have this issue - sometimes it is the iPod itself (but considering I have two, one for each Vette I have trouble with that statement).
Like I said - for less money that the existing setups cost I am going with the FM intereface.
