New navigation DVD

May 08, 2005 15 Replies

Hi There,



My Chevrolet dealer told me that Chevrolet is working on a new DVD for the useless present navigation system on the 2005 Corvette.

Useless how, please? Mine works rather better than other NAV systems I've had in cars.

Most manufacturers update their NAV databases about annually, typically in the fall to coincide with new model introductions.

Bob -

I believe the gentleman is referring to the navigation database DVD that the system uses. These are updated, typically annually, as the road net changes and the software is improved.

I don't own a C6, but I would imaginge it's the same DVD database my Escalade has. Not wonderful. Many times, I have trouble getting it to find roads that begin with "West" or "North" etc.

GM should take a look at Toyota's Nav system. It's the nicest one out there. (IMHO)

I have a C6 and I think the Nav system works just great...........it beats the hell out of using a map.......... (IMHO)

Well.......it's a good thing I don't give 2 craps about your humble opinion! LOL Lexus want's $950 for my buddies new NAV CD. And I think that's expensive.

H'm - your friend's Lexus dealer is being a little opportunistic. List price for the update (at least on my '01 LS 430) is $500. You can buy them discounted for about $280 - try Sewell Lexus' parts website.
