There was a write-up somewhere about hooking up some stuff in the back of the receiver, to use AUX.

There is a couple of nice kits out there, but for the price this cant be beat. Oh and the sound is crystal clear.

I have the same single CD, non-nav, XM radio and a 3 gen Nano.

Here's a good previous write-up posted a while back on the iSimple.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/ls4-perfo...it-review.html

The eBay vendor of item # 130526190158 sells for under $100 each which I’ve bought 2 kits (other one for my ‘03 Silverado)

On my install, I drilled a 3/4" hole at the back (near top) of my storage box.

Spoke with the guy and figured out the wiring for at least my GXP for XM is the same as the corvettes so the PAL, PAL 2, and the aux imputs 1, 2, 3 will work for our cars.
