Default Radio question

So the vette I picked up has the very basic radio with cd player. I want to try to find one of the good ones but don't want to pay full price for the OEM ones. If I go to try to find one in a junkyard or something, what years and chevy models would have compatible radios/nav systems?

Try the parts sections on the forum here, and Ebay.
Just looked on ebay, there up for bids.
Remember if you replace it, GM has to enter the your Vin # to make it work.

Well that part I know but maybe I wasn't clear in how I asked.

What I'm asking is what other chevy models would have compatible radios so that I can expand my searches beyond just radios off of corvettes?

If you're wanting a GM OEM radio, then the answer is none!

Done.

And TCW, does that mean I'll have to find a wrecked up vette to pull one out of? lol
