Hi All,
Thanks to all my customers and friends here for your business, your constant referrals, and for choosing GM Parts House as your leader in GM Parts here on the forum. I’ve been given the great privilege to give you some exclusive information, first, about the GM C6 Corvette Personal Audio Link.
I will try to give you as much information about the PAL and what it works with, what it doesn’t work with etc.
The PAL currently retails for $189. I don’t know what my price to you will be yet. Please let me know if you would like to purchase one from me.
The first release will work on all 08, 09 and 10 models with NAVIGATION only.
My source says give GM another 6 months to come out with a different part number and design for non-navigation units.
They are almost 100% sure it works with 07 models, but will need to verify that further as they had an 07 radio, but not sure what year software was on the radio.
It does work with 05 and 06 models, but unfortunately, due to the difference in timing of the displays on the radios between 07 and up and 06 and earlier, it will not display the artist and song name on the navigation. All you will see is garbage characters from time to time.. but the PAL will function and act as it does on the other years, but the artist name and song title will not display. Obviously due to the costs to produce and engineer something like this, they will not be working on perfecting the version for 06 and earlier.
My source says that the PAL does NOT work with aftermarket navigation units.
The PAL does work with HUD units. It will flash the title of the song for 2 seconds on the text line display of the HUD and not the artist. It will actually show on the HUD before it actually shows on the radio as the HUD updates quicker than the radio.
In the 09’s with Bluetooth it does work and integrate with the PAL. If you get a call, it will slowly mute the music, provide you with the phone ringing sound and will pause the music. Once the call is over, the music will pick up where it left off.
I’ve seen many questions about the iPhone, etc.
It works and charges with all Gen 1 units, including iPod touch and iPhone.
It works with all Gen 2 units, including iPod touch and iPhone 3G, but does not charge. The two types of systems charge differently and they weren’t able to make the PAL work with all of them.
That is all the information I currently have. If you have further questions please ask here and I’ll see what I can do.
Last but not least, to further prove my exclusive claim, I have the full owner’s manual for the C6 PAL from General Motors on my site.
