Default Best aftermarket nav/radio/back up?
Looking to replace my stock unit 2011 Z06 with a modern system. Suggestions on brands that work great and look stock?

For me, I'm still just stock for now...but there's lots of good product reviews and DIY threads in the audio section. At least the 2011 comes with an Aux input. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...lectronics-20/

Contact Double D mods. They are the goto place for corvette nav setups.

Really just depends on your budget and what you want out of it. You can spend $300 or $1500.

Ran a pioneer for past 6 years. Zero issues. Nav works great. Would probably do something with android car if I was to upgrade it.

The Kenwood GPS is fantastic. The user interface with USB or other memory cards is downright pathetic. I get pissed off every time I turn the damn thing on.....

I would recommend you go to an audio shop and fiddle around with the different units and make sure you will be OK with the interface/setup/functionality/features/etc.

Great reviews for the 4200NEX. I'm having it installed this Saturday so I won't have personal experience until then. However, DD Mods said he's had to send several back, so maybe the Kenwood. What I like about the 4200NEX is that you can turn it completely OFF - as in no display at all. AFAIK, you can't do that with any of the Kenwood head units, so... people will be able to see you have an aftermarket unit at night.

I have the Kenwood 9903. It's not perfect but it's better than the Atari nav that came with the car. I have front and rear camera with it. The front camera was a waste of money though.

My OE Nav doesn't even know we're in HI...it just gives up on trying to figure out where we are.
