Default C6 Factory NAV install after purchase

I have a 2006 C6 that has OnStar (LT3) but no factory NAV. I have seen a complete GM vette NAV system for sale but wonder what is involved here as far as an install goes. Is this simply a plug-and-play?? Anyone out there done this? Any advise or links to the install is greatly appreciated.

I did it to my 06 a few months ago. It's as simple as removing the 6-disc unit, installing the NAV antenna, installing the NAV head unit and taking it to a dealer to have them unlock the VIN with a TechII.

Ok thanks ford dr...I wasn't sure about the process here. Did you do the work yourself and what did the dealer charge you to unlock the unit?
