Is it possible to add the stock navigation equipment to my 2019 Stingray at a later date? I believe there is a YouTube video that shows it. I don’t want aftermarket equipment. Thanks in advance!

Doesn't your radio support Android auto or Apple Car Play. Google Maps or Waze are better than most in-dash Nav's, Garmin or TomTom and you don't pay for updates.

That looks fairly simple to install. Thanks for sharing the video.

Both, the C7 upgraded & integrated NAV, HUD and PDR, are invaluable. I use ALL of them on a daily basis whenever driving my 2017 C7. Easy decision to choose them when buying a new C7. 👍

Yes you can, but why? Your car is Apple Carplay and Android Auto capible. Just get a smartphone and call it a day. (unless you live in the absolute boondocks and don't have cell phone service.)
Ok, that said, PDR is pretty cool. But that a whole nother level of expense to try to retrofit that. It's just easier to buy the car with pdr/nav in the first place.

Are you sure you can use AA without the factory NAV? I'm not sure about that. I have the factory NAV but rarely use it opting instead for AA.

I have the factory nav/pdr and never use either one of them. Waze and google maps on carplay are far better in terms of ease of use and routing. Even before Waze came to carplay i just used it on my cell phone.

My use case for the factory NAV is I'm out in the mountains hiking and my phone runs out of battery. I get to my car and I can at least navigate home with the factory NAV as my cell phone starts charging. Otherwise I would need to sit there for a while as my phone gets enough juice to be able run AA and GM...

I didn't get factory NAV, but I don't miss it at all as I was using Apple's map feature at first and now that Waze is compatible with Carplay I use that instead. Factory NAV is nowhere near as good as Waze for it's real time reporting of accidents, police presence, etc, or re routing you around bad traffic. Factory NAV just tells you how to get there, Waze tells you how to get there faster!

Waze is not that accurate WRT police reports - see Android Auto with Google Maps (GM) vs Android Auto with Waze. Plus there's a lot of very useful (I'd say invaluable) functionality that Waze lacks especially WRT Google Maps. If GM and Waze had functionality parity I'd use Waze. And this is in Phoenix, which is in the top 10 of US cities population-wise though I admit I don't live downtown.

If you have the HomeLink buttons in the visor and swap the IO6 NAV HMI for the non nav I05 version, remember to reconnect the wire that runs up the A pillar to them... Don't ask how I know, but suffice it to say your garage door won't respond without it.

Having in dash nav was one of my musts when buying my GS. As for using the phone....yes it works but not nearly as well and doesnt interact wrll w the stereo etc. If u use Android Auto it is better but not as good still and eats up data minutes. It is still hard to beat in dash overall and if u are spending the $ on car like these buy it how u want it!

Me personally, I have Sprint and unlimited data so I never worry about eating up data minutes. The unlimited data plan is not that expensive (especially considering how much you've spent on the car) and I would think "data minutes" would not be that expensive either.
