Add a USB Port possible
Is it possible to add a USB port to the stock stereo in a 04 z06? Short of using a fm transmitter I don't know how else to play music from my phone. Is it possible to add a USB port? I'm low tech when it comes to this stuff. Thanks.

If you have a cassette player, you could go with an iDeck.
I got one and it works well with my iPod Nano. It's also designed to work with the iPhone.
See:
The good thing about the iDeck vs. the FM transmitter is that the audio comes out of the docking port instead of the headphone jack, so you get full fidelity.
It also allows you to run the iWhatever off car power instead of internal battery. It charges the iWhatever while it's plugged into the car power.
It also included an integrated Aux jack if you wanted to run a standard MP3 player, etc.
All in all, I think it's a pretty good deal for $39.99. I'm happy with mine. I just pop it into the cassette deck, plug in the 12v adapter into the cigarette lighter and play music off the iPod.
I also like it because it holds the iWhatever at eyeball height so it's easy to see/adjust.

I can sell you and my Double Din center console and the radio DVD layer, Bluetooth JV
I have my center console done by me and I had it for a little less than a yr. I'm looking to do a new project on my car. I want to install a plug and play Samsung galaxy note 8.0 into the center console.
