The aux jack is in the nav unit but the USB is remote location.

In 2011 the aux port is in the center console with the USB.

No HD radio option as far as I know. Even bluetooth didn't arrive to around 2009.

Wow! I was basing my quote on my GMC vehicles which all have the aux port nav mounted. Not sure why Corvette is behind the technology curve or why so many versions.

Can the oem factory NAV be installed in a base model 1LT car that originally came with the standard radio?

The GM dealers will tell you no way but it's done all the time. So the answer is yes.

I would appreciate hearing from someone who has actually done this to confirm if it can be installed in a C6 that did not originally come equipped with the Bose stereo. I believe they do not have the same wiring harness necessary for the oem NAV radio.

Has anyone actually done this that can confirm if it can or cannot be done?
