I just bought a 2007 Ron Fellows Z06 with nav and I can't find an input jack for my i-pod. My 2007 Impala has the i-pod input jack so it seems odd that there would not be an input jack on the Corvette. I hope I just didn't look in the right spot to find it.

 

the nav system doesn't have an aux input jack. i was also quite frustrated by this when I got my 2008. however, I was able to DIY one for about $10.

depending on how comfortable you are with modifications, you can add your own several different ways. Most of these ways involve hijacking the xm radio cables (you can retain XM functionality when there's no aux cable plugged in).

check the Audio/Electronics section, in the C6 audio FAQ for a listing of the modifications.

 

For those with older vettes without bluetooth capabilities, you can very easily install a 3.5mm stereo plug wired connection (for playing mp3s) from the XM module to your mobile phone offered by CF member Ray Kawal (website.)

 

I've got the one keyplyr referred to. Bought it from Ray Kawal. Plugged in at the XM box in about 10 seconds. Cost $30. Sounds great.

Or, since mine already has it (2008 coupe) we could just trade?

 

Thanx for the replys guys. It sucks that GM did not provide for the I-Pod but I am glad that there are some options available. Does the one that allows you control the I-Pod with the touch screen also show the album art on the screen as well?

 

Here's what I did to add the Aux jack to my NAV stereo from a previous post

I ended up taking a different approach to this AUX input. I couldn't stand having to constantly change it back to channnel 0 everytime I wanted to play the ipod. At the same time I didn't want to completely cut XM out of the picture either. Furthermore I wanted to look as clean and factory as possible. So I bought the following 1/8 panel mount Stereo input:



This jack had 5 leads one ground and four for the right and left signals. This works very similar to a laptop whereby when you plug in the headphones it cuts off the signal to two of the leads in this case #3 and #4 that you see in the schematic





So what I decided to do was run a ground + 4 wires from the XM module back to this panel mount. from the module itself I ran the left and right signals to lead #3 and #4 on the panel mount.

I used the following Delphi terminal connectors that fit right into the OEM plug , delphi part # 15445905



From the wiring end I ran the left and right channel to leads 2 and 5 on the panel and grounded #1.

I mounted this next to the cigarette lighter and the resulting look is below, very subtle, almost looks factory.

The result - I plug in my ipod it cuts off XM and you don't have to mess with getting to channel 0. Pull out the plug XM works like factory, no relays, no nothing. One thing I do have an issue with is If I have a cableplugged in and no ipod it hear a slight humming. I might have to ground it somewhere else, I used the chassis of the XM radio.

I also devised a line - level output cable from my Ipod's DOC connector to the 1/8 jack- but I think it sounds better from the headphone jack itself.

kev1n,

Are you sure you didn't install the mysterious switch for Mister Peebody in this thread:http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...witch-for.html

 

haha, actually that used to be my Navigation bypass switch. I decided that I wanted to have my power plug back so I changed things a bit since then

It looks much better now with this min toggle for the NAV
