Is this your car's original head unit? Did it just die? I assume you've already tried ejecting and then reinstalling the DVD. Is it possible that the DVD somehow got damaged? Maybe try going to a dealer and asking to try the DVD from an in-stock Corvette (those in other model Chevys won't work) in order to zero in on the problem.

The NAV is coded with the VIN# so you'll need a dealer to install it should you replace it. Do you know anyone else with a NAV disk that you can try in your car in case its a bad disk? You can also try to reboot the nav itself by pulling its fuse, waiting 30 seconds and re-installing. I'm thinking you've got a bad disk or a dirty laser lens.

The original deck skipped on the CD, they replaced the deck with a scratched one. The one that isn't working is the third one. Its about a month old but the car is out of the 3-36000 warranty. I talked to the dealer and they are going to try to deal with it Monday or Tuesday. I wont pay for a new deck so I would like to find out who sells the service parts.

UPDATE:
It works now. I have been in and out of town and let the car sit for a month of so. I took the car for a spin last night, just for grins I tried the nav and low and behold it works. The dealer said the warrenty was for 12 months after they put the new radio in. I sure hope it quits soon.
