2005 Production (Is this true?)
I was just on the Bowling Green Assembly plant web site and I downloaded the Production stats for 2005. I looked through all the colors and options to see where my Vert fits in. To my suprise
only 0.8% or 85 Convertibles out of 10644 produced were equipped with navigation
That number seems way to low since
17.2% of all coupes had navigation. If the numbers are true it explains
why my order took so long to fill
Only 85 Verts with Nav! What do you think?

At some point during the 2005 model year, the Nav option code no. was changed from U3U to URB. Also, more verts were made later in the model year. Maybe the number of verts with Nav coded as URB were left out of the information posted on the website.

So late in the model year they switched to a new code, and then back to old code for 06???

But I suspect there were more than 85 verts that had the Nav option for the 2005 MY. The first 85 probably had the U3U and the others probably had the URB.

Okay, here's a link that I didn't know I had.
http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/.../2005prod.html
For U3U Nav, it shows 4591 coupes and 85 verts. It also shows for the URB option, 7691 coupes and 6524 verts. So, it looks like there were a total of 6609 verts with the Nav option for the 2005 MY.

Is it wired to have the headlights on all the time instead of just the DRLs during the day?
