Went into the dealer and had the software upgrade installed. The FM reception is great and the MP3 player as an addition is FANTASTIC!

This MP3 thing is awesome. I have not listened to XM in the Vette since. This also points out how crappy the sound quality and programming on XM really is. I will keep XM because of the comedy channels, but I may have to look into Sirius. Even if I have to use FM modulation it can't sound any worse than what XM is spewing.

Was there a problem with your FM before you went?

Does anyone know if these audio upgrades are being included on the line in Bowling Green at this point? Mine was built 1/31/06 & I'm picking it up in a few weeks.

Yes. All 2006 models play MP3s from the factory.
