Switching NAV to single CD in 07 Coupe
My car came with the factory NAV and BOSE system. I want to switch to a single CD and someone local took his out of his 07 coupe. Mine is like this one:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=2105704 (post 10 I assume all NAV heads are the same for an 07 coupe).
He has offered his single CD head and a BOSE amp (part # 1590466 and 15903398).
So can someone advise:
-is the swap compatible
-mine is BOSE so is his also assuming its got the BOSE AMP (trust I don't need this?)
-is the swamp something straight forward that I could do?
-does a dealer have to perform some sort of electronic Voodoo
thanks for any feedback

u dont need his amp, its a plug and play swap.
ur navi antenna is a total pain to remove so just leave it in, most ppl sell em without navi antenna. im not sure if ur sat radio will work or not.
dealer will have to use the techII to flash the radio to ur car, no way around it. u install it and the radio will work and power up once in accessory mode then after that the dealer must flash it

. So I should be able to remove my NAV, leave the navi antenna and stuff his unit in. Then go to the dealer and do the techII flash. Correct? Is removal of the NAV unit straight forward?Frank

Remember, it's not going to work at all until you have a dealer Tech II program it. It will power up but will display some sort of error, not sure what it would be on that unit.
Good luck!

As mentioned I need to see a GM dealer for the scan. I also heard some non-GM dealerships have these units. Talked to a few and they indicated they need a "code" of some type for the repalcement radio I've put into the car. Is this true? Or does the scanner just need to be plugged in and the radio unlocked (or is it locked to my car).
Also how long does it actually take to do (is there are specific part of the scan they go to so I can tell the tech if they are not fimilar with doing this procedure).....thanks for any input on this specific question....

ps- some dealers want a fortune for the service ($120)

Previous generations of the Vette did have a master code, can't remember if it was C4, C5 or maybe even both. The C6 does not. Any service station with a Tech II programmer can change the VIN lock to your car. Unfortunately a lot of them just don't know they can....
