iPod on 2007 with NAV?
What are my options for this? Anything allow the ipod to be controlled via the NAV screen?
I am a newbie to audio stuff, just want a good way to be able o play my ipod through my stock HU.
Thanks, Shawn

I just became one with the collective myself and bought an 80GB to hook into the new head in my daily driver Avalanche. I'm doing a road trip later this summer in the C6 and no doubt I'll want the iPod available so I'll be researching this a bit myself. I may very well scrap the factory head though, not sure yet.

I had to remove it due to the battery drain and am still looking for a safe answer.

I called them just now and they said if you have a C6 with NAV and XM, you can use the "2005-up CHEVY CORVETTE SPEC.DOCK PACKAGE WITH COMPLETE INTERFACE" ($299).
This comes with the hardware to add an AUX input and then run the iPod to this input. Apparently it also has an extra AUX input in case you want to add something else at some point. It works with most iPods, including my older 15gb iPod (The USA SPEC doesn't work with that one).
It has two modes, one that allows control via the touch screen, but it's limited to 5 playlists while the other mode allows for complete control via the iPod itself. I'd probably prefer this anyways since it's always easier to control the iPod and how I did it on my previous C6 w/o Nav.
It will power the iPod and they said there aren't any issues with the setup draining the battery so we shouldn't have to worry about that.
It does seem to cost a bit more than the other solutions out there, but from what it seems, it works without screwing anything up or causing any battery issues. I noticed another poster in this thread got this unit, so hopefully he will post a follow up after he installs it...
