    Ray,
    I was wondering if you have any instructions on how to install a 2011 Nav Unit (GM 20856087) into a 2011 base Corvette to replace my basic stereo (bose w/XM, CD, etc, but no Nav)? Are there any special instructions or cords/connectors I need for this swap out in the same model year? Seems there are instructions for putting that '11 nav unit into earlier models, but I just want to put it into the same year replcacing the cheaper deck/receiver I have. I appreciate any help you can lend, thanks!

    Kawal,
    Do you have instructions for how to install the 2011 Nav System (GM 20856087) into a 2011? I have the basic bose stereo in mine now, and want to upgrade it to the Nav touch screen, but was wondering if there are any special instructions for doing that on the same model year (not a previous year), it's a 2011 base Corvette.

    Hi Ray - -
    I also have an '07 C6 Z06 w/Nav & XM. Just discontinued XM as I want to use my iPod nano 5th Gen 16 GB in my Vette. How much do you sell the GM Pal for? Do you have a website? What problems or issues can I expect to encounter once installed?

    My car is currently at Tony's Corvette Shop in Gaithersburg, MD getting an install of a TraqMate Complete System. With the dash disassembled, I figured now is the time to do the GM Pal.

    The tech at Tony's advises against the GM Pal for any Vette earlier than the 2008 (something about the Nav/XM/radio head that impairs functionality in the '06-'07 Vette.

    I would think that if anyone knows about this, it would be you. If you prefer to talk rather than type on a keyboard, I can be reached at 240-393-1818.

    Thanks in advance for a reply.

    Ray, Thanks for offering this great equipment for the older Vettes. Mine is a 2011 with Nav so has the iPod port and all, but the functionality is slow and 20th century. Plus i'm spoiled with the iTunes application....... any chance you have anything improved over the standard Vette App? just wondering...... thanks

    Ray I bought the REV 2 PAL for my 2008 conv. The shop I use is very good and they are familiar with your product. After the installation the GM box cycled on and off repeatedly and the I Phone would charge on and off for a very brief period. I am certain as an engineer myself the connections were all correct. I suspect you may be able to tell me how to resolve this issue. Love your product

    good day Kawal! I am wondering if you may be able to help me with a problem...I just installed the scosche axipcl2, it seems to function well with the ipod, but i cannot get it to go back to xm, the 1 preset button cycles aux input and ipod only, no xm. Any ideas? It is the non nav head unit, I tried to unhook it and reconnect it, but only get my xm with it uninstalled...
