Missing DVD Navigation Disc...help!
First, I would like to introduce myself since this is my first post. I recently bought a 2006 MSM C6, 3LT, NAVI, Z51. It is my first vette and I am truely in love!
Now to the question: The individual I purchased the car from misplaced the DVD navigation disc and said that the dealer provides a free upgrade to Corvette owners and I just needed to go by a dealer and pick one up. I called a couple of dealers and they haven't heard of that. I am trying to get a hold of the seller so that I can get him to replace it, but I don't know how much luck I will have.
In the meantime, I was wondering if anyone in the Arlington, TX area would let me take a quick "look"
at their disc. I am going nuts not being able to use my car to its full potential.
Thanks.

I'm not sure how Chevy will handle this. BMW sent cards to registered owners to mail back to get an updated disc when it was available.

Congrats and welcome 
Maybe you can find someone to let you burn a "backup" copy of their disk.

Interesting... Since I did not buy the C6 from a Chevy dealer, do you have any idea on how I can register my car with GM?

Thanks Fred Beans Parts
I ordered a replacement front polished wheel from Fred Beans parts. Saved hundreds compared to a Chevy dealer. When the wheel wasn't delivered last Wednesday as promised Dave Wittlinger stepped up to the plate and at their expense had it Fedex'd to me on Saturday. Trust me folks, this is an excellent company to do business with. I'm not sure what I'm going to need in the future, but I sure am going to check with them first. Thanks Dave--Ed
My apologies for the above, I thought I was doing a new thread, which I just did. Hmmm, I used to know how to post stuff on this forum, I will now remove my head from that dark and smelly place. Happy New Year--Ed
