Not really.

In regards to radios, you have the bose and non bose amp package, and then the single disc none nav, the 6 disc not nav, the Nav radio with DVD slot for the nav disc and single disc, and you could add a 6 disc changer to the car in the cubby in the back. The disc changer for the cubby hole is #17802224 , but the draw back is it will not play CD's that are burnt to MP3 files.

Also to point out, all the radios themselves should be able to play a CD that has been burnt with MP-3 files correctly. In the 6 disc none nav radios, there was a program update flash on disc that not only fixed reception problems with the radio, but allows the radios to read and play MP3 burnt CD's as well. The reason I bring this up, if you convert .wav files to MP3 files, you can burn a single CD with about 6 normal .wav type file discs to a single CD with mp3 files to cover you for about 6 normal CD's of play in the single CD slot instead.

How to convert a .wav file disc, and burn a CD with MP3 music files isntead.

It was comparable to the 3LT option package of later years,

The wart? I'm thinking once the wart is on there it's on there, available or not.

Yes, I think the Nav works, but I can't figure out how to use it, so maybe it doesn't? I've read that you would need an updated DVD to run it off of. As far as the NAV unit, I just like the corvette emblem display on the screen, it looks cool. As far as music, I listen to the engine!

Here are 2 links to an NAV manual written and posted here on the forum by forum member talon90.

Older nav DVD will still work, but if you want current road maps, then want the current Nav disc instead.
Note, keep in mind that even a new current nav disc may be outdated by a year of more of new roads being built by the time it was produced and put to market.

Also, make sure that you have a Nav disc in the lower DVD slot for the radio, or the nav system is not going to work.
Hence lower slot is for the nav DVD disc, while the top slot is for music CDs isntead.
