No disrespect but anyone who owns a Corvette or any other vehicle with HUD knows what the system is capable of.

They may know what it’s capable of, but I just want to be clear that they dont lose HUD when going with an aftermarket head unit but only the navigation functions through the HUD. I’m not trying to argue with you, I’m just trying to be clear for those who may read this now or in the future and are looking for info and may not know.

I am not sure if I am going to do it but I am curious what others who have done so recommend as of 2018 as a replacement GPS Radio to swap into ones C6 to replace the factory GPS Radio System. The only reason I am thinking about it is because I would like to utilize my iPhones GPS Capability through my GPS System in my car like my wife is able to do in her 2016 Chevy Malibu and my daughter is able to do in her 2016 Camaro. The technology is just not there in the GPS Radio that came equipped with my 2006 Corvette. Wish there was a way that I could do the same in my Factory GPS Radio in my 2006. The set up using the always updated GPS system in our iPhones is just the best from what I have seen so far.

Purchased a brand new Kenwood DMX7704S. Should have it tomorrow 7/19. Seems to be everything I am looking for and the price was right. Looks like all that I need to install it is a Metra 95-3304 Double Din Installation Kit and a PAC RP5-GM11 Radio Replacement Interface based on my extensive research during the last week or so. Any comments or suggestions on the ***install*** is welcome.

If you plan on doing the install yourself, here is a helpful thread to follow if you haven't seen it already.

Also, if you want Sirius/Xm you will need to buy a tuner. The SiriusXM SXV300v1. I don't recommend it for everyone though because I found the XM reception in my Vette to be poor and I ended up cancelling XM service in my Vette.
Also, like mentioned earlier, reverse camera is real easy to do and I highly recommend one. I used the Pyle PLCM38FRV. It was only about $17 when I bought it, but see it now for $26 on Amazon, and I used an existing screw to mount it above the license plate. Well worth the little bit of effort to install and the $17-26 it costs.
