Looks like this is a duplicate post. You may want to get rid of it.

Why would you want to replace a corvette radio with another inferior corvette radio.
the nav unit is useless outdated.

upgrade to an aftermarket unit with CarPlay and use your phone for nav. Tons of threads on the swap here and I. The audio section.

I like to keep the stock look . Someone offered me a stock radio with navigation but didn’t want to take it if I can’t use it.

the nav is useless as it’s unable to be updated.
I understand trying to keep the stock look. But you’ll get such a better experience with a new headunit.
just my.02. You can get a very clean look the right head unit.

good luck
