Does iPod not have bluetooth? That's how I get music from my droid. Or maybe needs nav package for that to work?

Let me help you out...

Non navigation units don't have iPod hookups (just the 3.5mm jack).

You need to either buy a module like the iSimple, or use the headphone jack in the front like the rest of us.

As far as I know the Z isn't setup for bluetooth audio streaming. I could be wrong though. Even if it does, audio quality isn't as good.

The bluetooth feature is just going to be for cell phones, is it impossible to make it work for audio streaming, you could try it, and tell us if it works or not, I havent seen it work that way though.

Default My Z

I have a 2009 fully loaded... No bluetooth streaming which SUCKS!!! BUT since I have Nav, i have a cord which connects inside the center console (after you remove the cupholder you'll see the hookup)... Crappy part is that it doesn't charge my iPhone 4 or 4S and the stupid cord is like 9" long... And choosing a specific song through the stereo is a joke...

I assume you're trying to get your iPod to actually interface with your head unit; controls, display, charging. If this is the case, then there isn't just a cable you need to plug in. You need to buy an interface. Only the Z's with Nav have iPod connectivity built-in.

DIY: Bose Touring Stereo (NON NAV) iPod Interface Upgrade: iSimple Media Gateway

The iSimple interface is about $100. The model # for a 2011 Z w/Bose-NoNav is "PAC ISNI572". I installed mine in my '11 Touring No-Nav last week following the excellent write-up above. If you've never done anything like this before, it's pretty easy, but take your time and go slow, step-by-step.

Now I just leave an old iPod Classic 80GB in my glovebox connected 24x7, and I always have access to my entire collection. It's a little slow to browse for a particular artist (or heaven forbid, a specific song... Playlists are your friend ), and it may be causing a bit of XM weirdness (2011 Bose+NoNav+iSimple = Shortened XM Titles?) but otherwise it's great. It charges my iPhone 4 and also even displays song & artist from Pandora, which is pretty sweet.

Note, this DOES NOT enable Bluetooth Audio streaming. I think iSimple might sell some other add-on gadget to the interface that enabled that, but it's part of the iSimple gateway, not the car.

So I just picked up my 2012 (tourning / nav) yesterday and am trying ot figure out the ipod. Looks like I can use a USB in the center console, but if I want to charge it, I'll need the adaptor (6th gen Nano). Okay. Got that far.

But I'm looking in the manual and it talks about streaming it via Bluetooth. Now, my Nano does not have bluetooth, but what if I got one that did? I've seen conflicting reports on here as to whether it works or not. It would be cool not to have to worry about plugging it in and all when i take it out of the car. Looks like a touch is bluetooth?

Yup, only Bluetooth iPods are the iPod Touches (and the iPhones of course).
