In case you were looking for an mp3 player to have - here's another comparison page. I like having an mp3 player because I store movies on them & watch them between breaks at college, etc...
http://www.zunescene.com/comparison/ I can understand the benefit of just using the USB port - I've seen decks with SD card slots too - they look great & will eventually be used to phase out CD players.. |

it depends on the power requirements of the hard drive. Some get their power from the usb port.. but if the usb port inst of the/powered type then it wont work (you will need external power).

If its the PAL (personal audio link) that is in their other cars it will work with the ipod.
Corvette, as well as 56 other models under the GM corporate umbrella will soon have a factory device called the "Personal Audio Link" that allows owners to hook up their iPods and play them through their factory audio systems. Rollout of the PAL will begin in October this year and by then of 2007, most GM vehicles should be equipped with the device. The Personal Audio Link uses existing radio software and is integrated through the radio's digital XM Satellite Radio bank. XM does not have to be activated for the system to work. Similar to FM Modulated systems, the XM integration offers improved sound and contents (artist, title, genre) are viewable on the radio's display. The radio controls on the Corvette's steering wheel will allow drivers to adjust the system volume. Personal Audio Link Key Features – At a Glance Seamlessly connects an iPod to the vehicle’s factory installed audio system Charges iPod when ignition is on Choose from English, Spanish or French language for function displays Search and display music by genre, playlist, album, artist Use seek function to move forward or reverse within a song for up to 15 seconds Select "shuffle" function to mix music Sort music using "alphabetical jump" from A-Z list Sort and select Podcasts and audio books by title Control volume from steering wheel controls Personalize text display in dynamic mode (radio display scrolls through artist, album, title, song, time remaining, etc.) or static mode (fixed on one display element such as artist) Perform fast music searches using high-speed text display technology The Personal Audio Link will be sold through dealerships for under $160. |

There's a 12v power outlet in there, though.(that's what I assume the big round thing is...) So it could work that way. This is how I plan on storing music in the Camaro, btw...an 80GB HDD. Forget MyGig.

First of all, aren't all USB ports powered these days? Isn't that how the USB device works? Most small in size drives work that way now. I have a 320G external HDD, it gets it's power from the port. I don't see GM putting a port where the device you want to use needs external power as well. This is a 2010 car, not 2001.
Also, I don't care what any of you say, this shit beats the hell out of the one speaker AM only radio we had in the 60's and 70's.

Yes USB ports are powered, but at 5 volts. That is why you will need to use a 2.5" laptop drive which can run on 5 volts. The 3.5" hard drives take 12 volts.
