Default Adding Nav

I've been reading threads and wanted to confirm what I've found on adding Nav to a non-nav C6.

It's plug and play with a Bose/XM C6. Just need a GPS antenna.

05-08 can all use any year Nav. For steering wheel control's you need an 07-08 Nav.

09-10 need a Nav from 09-10 because of BT. <-- Really not sure on this one.

Yes to all.

Additionally, you'll also need to add the microphone if you want the voice commands to work for the nav ("show gas stations", etc)

EDIT: If you are buying a used Nav radio, don't forget the trip to the dealer to 'marry' your used radio to your car's VIN (VIN Relearn proceedure with a Tech2 tool)

Thanks! Do you know the part number on the mic? Is that on all years? When I was searching around I didn't see mention of the mic; only the gps antenna.
