Default Any ipod interface recommendations???

I have an 07 NBS Silverado. I've upgraded to factory nav and I have a brand new bluetooth VCIM enroute, which I'm very excited about. I want to get my ipod integrated so I can finally be done. I've heard some good things about the Coastal Tech Ipod Lockpick, but what about the GM PAL (Personal Audio Link) or the USA Spec? Do any of these stand out, or are they all about the same? The USA spec site says that you can only control 5 playlists through the radio or steering controls and if you want to use more you have to switch to manual mode and control it direct from ipod. I don't think the Coastal Tech Ipod Lockpick has any limits. What are all you using and what do you like and dislike about your choice? Thanks!!!

Default Lockpick

The lockpick is great, it doesn't have playlist shuffle but has everything that much more expensive units have!

What's coastal tech's web address? I bought a aux input for my 02 burban to play my ipod and other things, but I can't control my it. I'm looking for a interface for my vette. Thanks.

This is the iPod interface we use you can see all the iPod text on the radio display under a second XM source, allows you to search by Artist, Album, Playlist, & Songs, from the radio. also if you have XM there is no need to pull the radio out to install the interface,
you can plug it into the xm tuner behind the glove box

iPod adapter
