Ok sorry I must be having one of those days LOL. Disregard anything I have mentioned. Must have been looking at too many posts today as I for some reason thought he was adding an amp and subs as well as the Ipod. To the OP if your factory deck is capable of controlling the optional CD changer then the gizmo Jalat suggested will work. Will need to check if you have the plug for it on the back. Sorry for the confusion I will go back to my corner and be good now.

It's a totally stock setup at the moment. I was considering a small sub and single amp for a little bass over the stock system. I didn't want to to a total system though. I've already got a new audiocontrol 24xs, EQX and EQS all in the boxes but don't think those will help me out with the iPOD.

Although the car didn't come factory CD changer option I see no reason to surmise that the factory HU doesn't have the input for the changer in the back.

Would the epicenter "plus" fill both roles with the ipod and the sub amp ability?

Maybe a little more info on both particular options?

Any help appreciated.. thanks

In this case yes I believe that would be the easiest way to go. But, see previous post LOL maybe MR2NR will verify this.

Peripheral electronics
They make kits that plug into the CD input of your factory radio that allow you to use your ipod or radio (and often steering wheel mounted controls)
I have one picked it up from future shop almost a year back and its one of the best purchases I have ever made.

Since you have no CD changer, and I guessed because its a Z06 that you have the Bose system in it that the IPAC-OEM would work for you.
It allows control of the Ipod through the stock Hu, and steering wheel controls, plus it will charge the Ipod while its pluged in.

the bose systems OEM put on your car is absolute crap. My mom's TL has that and it sounds terrible. The sub makes farting noises on loud volume, its only good for radio and the speakers also crackup on 3/4 volume. If i were you i would change the Deck or hell the whole system. any speaker is better than those factory bose systems.

The GM ones aren't that bad and I'm not adding to the car for weight reasons... I want to keep the factory deck and don't feel like tearing the car apart. Any serious $$ goes to ponies under the hood.
