Yes. I believe Helms sells the Service DVDs for about $500.00.

I have GM's ESI dvd and it's great. It is suppose to be the same as what the dealers uses and I pretty much believe it now. I am still exploring all he different parts and it pretty comprehensive. I think I paid about 100.00 for it off the ebay site a year or so ago.

The latest up date is 05 Corvette although when ever I update it it now includes more and more of 2007. C6's are pretty close the same accross plateforms that I really haven't found any problems. Big difference now will be the LS3 motor itself. I think for a lot better than general info it would be a good investment.

My DVD has an updater. Although the only thing that appears to be updated is service bulletins and news and a few other noticable items but practically everything else is the same til 08 then it seems only the engine is different. I have used to the DVD on my 07 and 08 with not any problems.

I have the same DVD, the GM Techline ESI DVD. Mine came with an updater, but I have no idea if it works. I only installed the DVD yesterday out of curiosity when I read this thread.

Sorry, not trying to hijack this thread.

You probably have the same updater. I run update out of the c:\ directory, there is an executable file and afterwards new info seems to be in place. I am not sure when GM is planning on adding any additional 08 - 09 info. I had a service guy that worked for Bill Heard that was going to give me a copy of his from work but we all know what happened to them.
