Default Nav without PDR?

I"m shopping for a C7 and some sellers are just plain bad at describing their vehicles. But, they seem to usually get the Nav. So, the question is if it has Nav, does it 100% have the PDR as well?

Thanks!

You could get NAV on a 14 no PDR that year, 15s & 16s and 17s NAV & PDR come together.

Can't have one without the other.

Unless it is a 14, no PDR available in 14.

You can order the car without the Nav/PDR package, and buy the Nav unit from a vendor on Ebay for around 900 bucks. It the oem plug and play nav unit, but no PDR. Several folks on the forum have done that.

However, if you're buying off the lot if they have Nav they have the PDR.

Thanks guys. I've been watching used postings. Since most are remote to me, I wanted to be sure it has both if I see Nav.

That would be a bone head thing to do. The only reason to get the Nav is the PDR.

I'm sure there are plenty of buyers who want the built-in NAV but aren't interested in playing Ricky Racer.

Assuming of course, that no one ever buys a used C7.

Sometimes the "right" car is missing an easy-to-add option that the buyer would like to have (like NAV). Not everyone lives where there are dozens of used C7 on every lot, making it easy to find *exactly* the model/color/options desired.

Since, as others have mentioned, it is relatively easy to retrofit NAV, I'd get a VIS on the used target before traveling, to ensure the NAV was a factory option.

Kinda like love and marriage-as the song goes....

In 2014 there was no PDR option and Nav was around 8-900- in 2015 you had to get both for 1795 I think-could not get either one alone.
