I have a 5th gen 8GB iPod nano that I always leave in my center console and I have PDIM version CD. When I start my car and/or select the iPod, it is very random whether it remembers what playlist and song I was on, or if it starts with the default first song. Also occasionally, my iPod isn't recognized so I look and it's locked up and I need to reset it. Could I expect PDIM version CE to resolve either of these issues?

I never recall seeing symptom 1, but symptom 2 is definitely addressed.

+1 - new 5th gen iPod nano - same randomness - often heads to first alphabetical song (which I've now set as the Turtles' late 60's Camaro commercial from iTunes just for fun by putting an "aa" in front of the title to drive it to the top). It happens more during a short stop for coffee then on re-start it does it - overnight rarely happens...

codeman71 thought that fact that I have my Sirius Starmate always connected and on may confuse the PDIM - he advised to turn-off the Starmate but I didn't just for the convenience of it always on and deal with the iPod issues.

I can say for sure that the Zune HD DRM music does NOT WORK. So far my iPOD 32GB touch has worked well.

Coderman:

Why not just write a file to the root of the installed device, say /camaro.dat, that would have all the indexing data in it? Then it would be simple. You wouldn't have to index on every power on, and you wouldn't have a 1500 song limit!

Codeman has been trying to help me but these guys don't seem to want any help. I've e-mailed them everything codeman told me and still nothing.

It's a little bit of a drive, but I went from my dealer in Tomball down to the Don Davis dealership in Bay City - to buy my Camaro. And they were grreat! The other day I was having some pipes installed and reading this forum in the showroom while waiting. Was able to print out the PDIM updates recommended for my vin number. They were very happy to have my assistance and applied all the updates before I left. I highly recommend these folks.

Has anyone noticed the Camaro PDIM fights the iPod with certain artists when using the fast scroll alphabet select?

I have Michael Buble in my list, which seems to be in the right place if I go artist by artist, but when I use the fast scroll alphabet feature it seems to pick Michael Buble when choosing 'M' when it should be under 'B'. Navigating the iPod itself also puts him under 'B' just not on the PDIM.

It happens with a few artists I have, just gets annoying.

Temper · 11-11-2009, 05:02 AM

I also notice that if you go to the song list and scroll backward quickly, all the song names will become the same one and then you cannot scroll up OR down. you have to go back and try again.

Good way to cause a distraction.

This radio seems pretty buggy and rushed.

Right now it's looking more like it's the 5th Gen iPod Nano. Multiple people have reported that their Nano forgets where it was when they start the car up. I told the PDIM team about this so they'll be investigatin it. Not sure if it's a problem on our end or Apple's. Somebody else said that other systems were having the same problem, not just our vehicles.

Hopefully there's an update soon!

I don't think it's been asked recently but just so we're all on the same page, according to the Chevy website, this is the C&C package:

Quote:

Bluetooth for phone
wireless PDIM, USB port
steering wheel mounted audio controls
leather-wrapped steering wheel
leather-wrapped shift knob
cargo convenience net
remote vehicle starter system when 6-speed automatic transmission

The PDIM and cargo net can be installed by dealer. Not sure about the other stuff.

OH Ok I was under the inpression that this did not add bluetooth for phone, only bluetooth for music. Does this in fact add bluetooth for phone?

Good question. I think the other Bluetooth module is apart of the Onstar "box". Not 100% sure though.
