Glad that so many of you were able to use this fix, however, it didn't work for me. Followed the directions, car outside and running, removed the map dvd, inserted the "fix" cd-r, got the message that this was not a map dvd, waited for over a minute and nothing.
Any suggestions?

I had to install and remove the disc a couple of times I also tried turning radio on and off and nav off and on. Also when you down load the file make sure that only the extracted files on disc. It will not work if it is in a folder.

Something came to mind this morning. I wonder if this is a permanent firmware update, or something you have to re-install, each time the car battery is disconnected? If so, I'd hold on to those discs for a while. Has anyone disconnected the battery since the update?

"Not Map DVD" then nothing
For those who are having this problem, try burning the CD with the tool I mentioned in post # 70. From what others said and from what I found, non all burners work, even though they appear to and produce a file that looks good.

Hey, just a heads up.....I sent you a response with my info....but I'm not sure if it actually went through (never saw a confirmation in the sent message folder) so you might have multiple msgs or you may have none....so just in case, Larry Mowery, 2202 Adeline St., Hattiesburg, MS 39401. Thanks again.----Larry M.

Which head units fit into which year C6s ?
Late to the conversation and a slightly different topic. My 2008 C6 LS3 has the Bose system, HUD, etc but no NAV.
I recall seeing a thread about putting later model years NAV head untis into older C6s . ie a 2012 NAV into a 2008 such as mine.
Does anyone have personal experience with this? Cleveland Power & Performance claim the NAV must be coming from the exact same year vehicle that its going into.

I sent that CD-R to a forum member that could not get it to load up. I haven't heard back from him as to if it worked or not. As soon as I do, I'll post.

I disconnected my battery to remove my air bag for a paddle shift mod. The radio had no issues after I reconnected it. I did toss the disk in my corvette folder just in case!

I swapped two wires on the right paddle to make the pull function work like F1. Right is up shift, left is down shift. Here is the link: http://www.bratten.org/C6/Paddle/index.html.

I wondered the same as to whether it's a permanent fix or not. I guess I'll just keep the CD in my auto files in case I have to use it again.
