Ipod connection
I just bought a 09 C6 Corvette. This car has navigation. I read in the manual that if the car has navigation, it will not have a connection to an Ipod.
Can someone help me on how to use my Ipod in the Corvette? ow do I make a connection?

YES. Kawal's wiring harness allows trouble free blue tooth connection of iPhone to factory nav.
Avoid the OEM "PAL" at all costs. Mine caused a major electronic meltdown. See my thread "Bad News From My Car."

PAC makes a plug and play right to the harness in between car and radio.. best $110 I spent.. Gave me Ipod/Iphone hard connection and wireless streaming bluetooth for android and Iphone + a 3.5mm jack wire...
I made a thread about it here somewhere it's called the ISGM655. I've used numerous PAC adaptors in the past and highly recommend them.
I looked into the other routes and by the time i was done adding up everything i was close to $300 for people putting things together as a hobby (Not a huge company with a ridiculously helpful tech line a send button away that's been around for more than a decade).. Good luck.

Three years ago, we bought the GM PAL but also bought Kawal's custom wire connection. Installation was quick and easy, and the system has been faultless for 3 yrs/45k miles. We have a small Ipod that stays in the left trunk cubby, but you can set it up to accept an Ipod or Iphone in the center console.
OTOH, the GM way to actually install the PAL, is a nightmare. Use Kawal's harness or furgedaboutit.
