Hey everyone Im new here, loved corvettes forever finally got one and I am loving it, bought it used though and some things I dont know about and was wondering if I could get some information. Like what is the black box in the front window? Im assuming something for gps onstar or something along those lines? or how about whether I can actually play a dvd in my nav system? there was no books included when I bought the car and there were so many options in the car compared to what Im used to that I didnt get around to asking about how they all worked by the time I left the lot...haha

Thanks guys...love the site

Congrats on the Vette and welcome to the Forum! You may want to order yourself an owners manual if you didn't get one. Otherwise, ask questions here and you'll get answers.

Congrats on the C6.

Check the FAQ section at the top of the page and read the operational description of the NAV System by Talon90, the Forum's most trusted authority. Much better than interpreting the owner's manual.
