Any difference in 2005 Nav?
I think I'm going to put a nav unit in my vette this fall.My car is a 2006 3LT with bose and on-star. I already know it is plug and play install with these options.
I have been searching the forum trying to figure out if there is any difference in the 2005 units. Since my car is an 06 i don't have radio controls (introduced in 07) and i obv don't have bluetooth (08-09 units i think). So I'm pretty sure that means i could get any year unit between 2005-2009 I think. I know 06-09 I'm good but i don't know if there is anything quirky with the 05's that won't allow it to work properly.

The only difference that I know of was that the 05 units would not play MP3 files as delivered from the factory. Late 05 or early 06 GM came out with a software update on a CD that allowed those units to play MP3 discs also.
