Do you have it set for your "region"? I believe I saw something like that on a road trip when I drove out of the region that was set in the Nav system. Just go to the "Enter Destination" page and select "Region" and make sure it's got the correct one for your location selected.
Other than that, there several ways to change the scale.
1. With the arrows on the sides of the scale button.
2. By touching the scale bar (I think that pops up when you push the arrows on either side of the current scale, or when you touch the current scale itself - so if your scale buttons aren't working you may not be able to see the scale bar).
3. Using voice commands.
If one method isn't working, maybe another will.

I've tried adjusting the scale size by all methods you suggested already. If I'm currently on 1/16 scale, I can Zoom out only by using any of the methods above. If I zoom out to the max scale (256mi?), then I can zoom in until I get to the 16mi scale and then it "Gray's Out" the arrow button and will not let me zoom in any closer.
The GPS shows my car moving around in the state, but it doesn't get me close enough to show the actual roads I'm on. I don't know what else this could be, besides a software issue.
Thanks for the suggestions, keep 'em coming!

The Window switch comes as a whole piece and it was $65 my cost.
Not bad for those two pieces.

Anyone know how to copy the Nav DVD properly. I've made two double layer DVD+R coasters with Nero 6 (actually the files are there under windows, just not usable in Nav). I'm sure it's possible to make a working copy, but how?

It cannot set a destination because it won't zoom in to a detailed map so you can start route guidance.
I think this may be a software issue on the DVD I currently have. I have to spend $200 on a disc, especially if I don't know for sure if this is a problem. Too bad I don't have a back up copy of the disc! Anybody willing to make me a copy of their DVD NAV disc and send it to me? I would be willing to compensate you for the disc and the time.
Thanks,

Previous owner may have had an aftermarket stereo installed - that he removed and put the OEM stereo back in - I kept all my Blose junk and left the wiring intact, in case I ever sell the car (unlikely with all the $$ I have invested), and the buyer doesn't want to up $5k for the stereo. This is the likely cause for the switches left disconnected - ripping out aftermarket goodies.
TPS monitor may just be flaking on you. I had one tire tell me OVERPRESSURE (44lbs) intermittantly yesterday. Just try and reprogram it, or replace if necessary.
Can't answer the NAV question - I felt the $1,600 was better invested in an aftermarket system when I bought my car new...

Does your system play MP3s? If it was one of these systems that required an update and was removed/re-installed like suggested, maybe it never got upgraded. You would know because MP3s could not be played. In any case, maybe you need the update written up on this post: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1254624

It's doing something different now though. Before the DIC would display "Service TPMS" and the tire pressure would read "XX" on the right front. Yesterday I'm driving along and hear "Ding-Ding" and look down at the DIC to see "Front Right Tire Flat". I stop the car, pull out my trusty tire pressure guage and what do I find??? You got it, a full tire. I called and talked to the service advisor and he told me to bring it back in and they would take a look at it. I think it's just a messed up TPS. I wish they would just replace it and be done with it.
Thanks for asking, I'll keep you all updated!\

As of right now, I think I have everything fixed. The new power window switch (module), fixed my passenger side window problem. Also, I had the tire pressure sensor re-calibrated and it seems to be ok for now. I haven't really had a chance to drive it a long distance to see if it will mess up again, but for now it's working.
Thanks for all of the help, I'm definately enjoying the C6.
