You bought a 2008 from a dealer on the other side of the country that had been sitting there for a few months, had "someone" check it out for you and on their ok, bought it. I am pretty sure there are some Chevy dealers near you that have some pre-owned 'Vettes for sale that you could have personnaly looked at and test drove. I know my local dealer has 2008's nearly all the time for around $33-34K and with nice mileage. Not faulting you, just relating how I would have proceeded. My $.02
It sounds even more suspect when you figure in the fact that there is no factory Ipod control module in an '08. Anything to do with an Ipod was added later...it did not come from the factory.
Interesting, because I figured it was aftermarket however the dealer told me it was covered under warranty since it was factory installed.....hmmm...
