Default Shuffle not working

GM Customer Service:
My VIN last 5 is 03028, so I am guessing my C-7 was the 3028 unit built? Can you please provide the birthdate!
Second when I install my Apple Shuffle it plays about five words of the song and quits. I spoke to the Service manager at the Local Chevy dealer and he said that the USB ports do not provide power, so the shuffle will not work! He suggested I loaded my songs on a memory stick! I did and it works fine! I was just curious why if the manual says the Shuffle will work, why it doesn't?
Also, is my Vette one of the units that needs the software update?

Thanks in advance
BillB
P.S. As an owner of 9 Corvettes over the past 40 years I must say GM has built the best one ever in this C-7. LOVE IT!!

Most radio usb ports continually charge an mp3 type device. Just like usb ports on a pc/laptop. I've had my ancient iPod Nano plugged into my F150's cheapie Kenwood radio for three years. Never remove it from the truck. Never DOA. Makes no sense a high end C7 radio would perform differently.

I have a charged battery on my ipod shuffle so I would assume that it does not need power from the USB, but my new C7 doesn't even recognize that it is there when I plug into the USB outlet. What is that all about? anybody know?
By the way, my iphone pairs just fine in the system and i play pandora through it with no problem, but all my songs are on the shuffle. I noticed that the C7 will not recognize apple lossless (high resolution) files, so I redid my whole playlist to 128 bits and that still doesn't help.
We tried my wife's ipod nano in the car and it doesn't work either, although at least the system shows that a USB device is plugged in, which is more than I get with the shuffle.
Her ipod classic works fine, though.
Very confusing. Anybody have an answer? And is it true that the USB's are not powered?

many apple products get confused - they need to be running the latest upgrade apple has...I have even then seen a few never work. if your ipod classic works, it's the other apple products...

Hi BillB,

My name is Terrell and I am new to the Corvette Forum. I'd completely agree! The C7 is awesome! Be sure to check out the 2015 ZO6 too, it's amazing.

Can you please provide me the entire VIN or the last 8 digits so I can look up your C7's birthday?

As for your shuffle, here is the contact info for the Infotainment team. They would be best for answering questions about your Infotainment concerns.
(855)-478-7767 - Infotaiment Customer Support Group - Hours of Operation: 8:00am to 10:00pm EST seven days a week

If you have any other questions or concerns, we'd be glad to help.

Page 23 of the Infotainment Manual lists the supported Apple devices. Shuffle is not listed. I tried mine, and it doesn't work either. But, my classic iPod does work just fine. I bought a cheap SD card and loaded my music on it. It works great!
