The vehicle mount for the C5 will run you $30. The device mount for an iPod will be between $25 and $60, depending which mount you want. I think I mentioned in an earlier post that if anyone is interested in the ProClip stuff, send me a PM. I can get it for ~15% off the ProClip web site prices.
If you want a really expensive mount, check out http://www.kudausa.com. I got their upper vent mount and Garmin nuvi device mount. Cost me about $95.
I posted a picture earlier in the thread that shows the setup.

The thing I like about the ProClip stuff is that it is very solid and yet doesn't require you to cut, drill, or remove a single piece of your car's interior to mount or remove it. I've got a vehicle mount in each of my cars, then I use one of their 'move kits' to relocate the iPod between the two vehicles (so only one device mount is required).

I quit using the HU controls and only use the iPod controls to skip tracks. You still get most of the benefits of the iPod2Car, namely charging, power on/off, and volume control without having to touch the iPod.
I keep mine in the console where it gets very hot on long trips. On those occasions I either leave the console lid open or lay the iPod in the cupholder.

I have this problem. If I hit the skip forward button on the head unit, it will usually skip forward, but occasionally it will skip backward roughly 4-5 songs. Very annoying. It seems to be random. [Edit: I didn't read your entire problem. Mine does not repeat the same 10 songs; it's only the HU skip forward button that has a problem. Are you sure it's not just the iPod repeating the playlist?]

I thought these questions had been answered, but maybe not.
Here we go!
PXHGM4:
used to hook up with the factory head unit without the CD changer in the trunk. See pic below. See my post #46 for connections.
IPOD2CAR:
Shown below. The white box that connects to your stereo via an adapter cable and then connects to your IPOD.
GMH20T:
Cable used for connecting your in trunk CD changer to IPOD2CAR. Shown in pic above.
PXHGM2/AB-GM10:
Same purpose as the GMH20T, just made by a different manufacturer.
I hope this helps. I am not familiar with the GM iSimple and Peripheral PXDP
I am not familiar with the Proclips mount. They look very nice. They are pricey though. About $55 with everything. You can find a lot of other choice on ebay for a lot less.

I did not take a picture of my cable or of the installation. I borrowed those pics from a thread in the audio section.
The picture of the cable that I posted looked a lot like the PHXGM4. I'm sorry. The picture below shows the connector that hooks up to the IPOD2CAR
I'm very sorry for posting insacurate information. :o
I should have taken pics. If my description isn't clear, please let me know.

You should not need to remove the shifter or ****.
I am posting this because forum member Patches wrote up some excellent instructions and should be commended. He is one of the original C5 experts. So . . . . . here is the link.

Well, I just tore my car apart to install this, and found out I don't have the correct cable for my car. They sent me a part number PXHGM2 cable. It is a female plug, that plugs into the harness that the radio plugs in to, but there is no male end to plug back into the radio.
I was an idiot when I ordered the adapter from them. I listed the wrong one. Now I get to tear the car apart a second time!

PAC Aux-Box
I installed the PAC Aux-Box in my 2004. If you don't have the CD changer, you'll probably need to get the factory cable for trunk mounting. I understand some have the cable installed. Mine did not. You will also need the GM-10 interface cable. A bit of a PITA to install, but well worth it! If you need more details of installation let me know: swwjr05@yahoo.com.

If it's not raining tomorrow, I am going on a nice cruise with the local Vette club. I'll check it out and see if mine does that.

Thanks for posting it. That's it!
The connector on the lower left plugs into the back of your stock head unit. The one on the upper left plugs into the IPOD to car. The one on the right connects to the one that you removed from your stock head unit.

Thats a great photo.
I also heard that even though your 'vette may not have the cd changer in the trunk, there is a good possibility that the cables were run, and not used.
Anybody confirm this?
