Default OEM stereo HVAC upgrade

I have a 06 vert that came with the stock radio and HVAC control system. I've seen C6's with the upgraded combined system and I was wondering if I find a used upgraded glass radio/HVAC controller, it it a plug and play or do I need to add/change harnesses. Thanks

The OEM radio/nav and HVAC control unit is a separate entity. You can however replace the radio with an OEM Nav unit that is plug and play, but you need to add a Vehicle speed sensor wire from the Speedo and a GPS antenna, which is not difficult to do.
You can buy an aftermarket NAV unit from DD mods and he includes the plug and play harnesses.
The HVAC unit controller is not part of the radio.
Good Luck
