That's dubious at best. In the Camaro, the iPod does all the decoding and just sends the raw audio across. Not sure of the DSP/decoder that the PDIM module has, but you may be better off with a USB drive since the iPod's DSP is mediocre. The audio is converted to analog and sent from the PDIM to the head unit anyways.
Also, by connecting your iPod via USB cable, it works as a charger. So you don't have to worry about draining the battery
