Best iPod interface for C6 Nav Unit?
I was just wondering if anyone had a strong opinion on which of the various iPod interfaces for the C6 Nav Unit with XM Radio is better/easier to use/easier to install? The ones I've seen so far mentioned on these forums are:
USA Spec PA11-Vette
Neucleus NC-X2i
SmartPark iConnect
iPod2Car Adapter
iPod Lockpick
They all seem very similar in installation (with some very good detailed descriptions/FAQs on each one) but different in usability on the NAV screen, with some using Playlists only, some having flexibility of Playlists and Album selection, and some locking out one of the XM1/2 presets for the sole use of the device (i.e. losing 6 preset buttons).
Anyone got strong opinions for/against any of the above? If it helps, I don't really ever use Playlists on my iPod, so would be looking for Artists/Album control over Playlists. I'm leaning towards the USA Spec PA11 but want to be sure before committing myself.
And my 'vette is an '08 Z06, if it makes any difference for install/usage.
Thanks

I have the PA11-vette set to manual mode. I have too many playlists to put it on auto setting.
I have a brand new Smart Park unit sitting in my closet. I wasn't too happy with the interface.
If you're interested in mine, PM me.
