Default In dash radio

My girlfriend has a 2007 Corvette and the in dash stereo includes XM and is the one with the LED touch screen. She is a bit disappointed that she can not connect her ipod to the stereo. Is there an RCA in on the back of the stereo that I can hook up an RCA to 1/8" cable to so she can play her ipod? Any help I can get will be appreciated.

Default xm Radio

I am not sure,but I thought the 07 Vettes had a plug on the front of the radio to plug the ipod into the radio.Again,I'm not sure but look on the front right side of the radio.It is prettty small inlet and I can see how it can be missed if you don't look carefully.

I "think" the mp3 jack did not start until 09. there is a PAL harness and you have to take the head unit out to install. there is also a harness that intalls at the XM unit in the b pillar behind driver, look in the audio section for these mods

If she has what you call the "LED touch screen", she has the NAV radio, and unfortunately, there is no standardized AUX input (no RCA, no 1/8" mini jack, etc) on *any* year C6 Nav radio.

The best she can do is go for the GM iPod-only solution ("PAL" or "Personal Audio Link", about $170 plus install) or one of the many aftermarket aux-input add-ons. Both the GM and the aftermarket solutions have a specialized harness and adapter box that plug in between the stock radio and the car's wiring harness, and require installation and some disassembly of the console. (There is a special wiring harness available that works in conjunction with the GM PAL adapter that does not require console disassembly, but it does add cost.)

Cheers,
Kent
