Possible C6 NAV iPod Solution
This web site is awful, the instructions are enough to cross your eyes, his customer service is reportedly AWFUL, but when you look at the instruction manual for this, it's supposed to work with Corvette NAV:

My brother just ordered one for his '07 GMC Acadia and it was shipped within an hour of order. Here's a link to the instructions:

No personal experience with this.. but it may be a solution.

I'll be stunned if you get a reply. I sent him an e-mail months ago and never heard from him and from what I read on other forums, that's very typical. His products work, but you are on your own.

I hope so. I went ahead and ordered the IPod integration. Won't have my C6 until next Friday so I can't try it until next weekend, but I'll post when I do. Hopefully I can find out Monday if the Navigation override will work with our cars and, if so, I'll order that too.

The one my brother ordered arrived yesterday. Unfortunately I won't get a chance to mess with it until the weekend, too much going on this week. I'll post as soon as I have something definitive.

No luck with this unit.
Had no issues locating the XM Tuner and getting everything connected. When you turn on the radio, however, the XM1/XM2 options dissappear because the radio is not detecting an XM Tuner. As soon as I unplug the unit and plug the original cables back in, the tuner starts working again.
Let's hope their customer support is not as bad as they say.
The good news is that the install, at least in a convertible, is a snap. Shame it doesn't work.

Well I'm sorry to report that my attempt to use the iPod Pick in my '06 convertible with NAV was unsuccessful.
I tried it by itself, hooked in line with my Sirius module and hooked in line with the original XM module, all with the same result. The XM1/2 button disappears, the system doesn't recognize anything being connected there.
I set the DIP switches with 1 & 5 in the down position as shown in the instructions. In addition to those combinations I tried them with & without the iPod plugged in at power up, all with the same result.
