anything is possible. you'd probably be better off with something like maybe this http://www.drivesoft.net/ it's a computer installed in your car. Plays videos, music, is touchscreen and has a nav built in.
Probably for a fraction of the cost of the c6 nav dash.

Yes but would the C6 nav be a plug & play.

Definately not. I think it would be a very pricey option to try and get to work. I would go with an aftermarket unit and have a custom made center console instead....you would probably still come out cheaper.

I just ordered a pioneer AVIC-N1 it's not real hard to install and much less money mine was 1500.00 on line. Check out some of the posts on this forum about installing it.

I have the AVIC N1. Good price and good performance. I found the install quite a challenge but its do-able.

I'm in the process of completing something like this for myself. The system is up and running in my car, but I'm not quite ready to declare it done.
Touchscreen, NAV, XM, DVD, OBD-II data link, accelerometer, dual cameras with telemetry overlay, etc...

The down side is the boot time. And the other thing you'll miss is the ability to reach over and feel a ****. Instead you have to briefly look at a screen.
