Need help! I've got a 2008 LT1 and I want to put a navi from another Vette in it. How easy is this? Can I just pull out the factory stereo and put this in? Any suggestions would help!

Thanks!

just did mine, piece of cake take off the console, 4 screws if i remember right and swap the units, the only thing is where to mount the antenna, there is a post about it when i was looking for it. and you are done.

So, you don't have to have the bose system or anything to make it work? that was my main concern...if it's plug and play i'm all over it....

Also, is there better models with diff years? some play dvd's and some don't or something? or should I not worry about what year as long as it's C6 stock stuff...

Thx again!

If you don't have Bose your in for quite a chore. With Bose it's plug and play. 05's had older programming so you would want to upgrade the programming. 06 to 08 is pretty much the same unless you have steering wheel controls then late 07 and 08 is what you would need. 09 incorporated Blue-Tooth.

Good deal, so I'm going to shoot for an 06-08, and it CAN be done in a coupe without Bose but it just takes a little more work.....what is the extra work that needs to be done? Splicing some wires or something?

It going to be lot more than a little work. Check in the stereo forum do a search probably on NAV and you should find several threads on what is involved.

I was going to put up a new post but this one looks like it answers my question. As long as the car has the Bose Premium Sound System it is plug and play? It seems that people are selling the factory Nav units for $500-700.

I had installed a factory Nav unit into my 2005 and documented the install here: http://www.skyhighphotos.net/CorvetteNAV.htm

Hopefully, that answers any questions you may have.

Installed navigation in my 08 coupe, everything went fine but today put in the navigation disk. Typed in a destination from my place to a nearby location in SoCal and the trip was originating from Washington DC. The map indicator was moving as I drove and the voice kept giving me directions not related to my trip.

I tried to calibrate the location and I got the indicator to show my house as location. The GP indicator on the screen has a red line slashed through it. I am thinking it needs to be turned on somehow. Any help?
