let the nickle and dimes dispense!
let the nickle and dimes dispense! Get in the car tonight, navigation isnt working, first the loud buzzing behind the head unit, navi is saying please insert disc. I hit the button to bring the face down, and it wont retract -_-. Restarted the car finally got the nav to come back up, and none of the nav buttons would respond. Radio worked fine, just the navigation. Been having issues with it for a month where when you go eject the cd the face plate would come down half way and then go back. Anyone have any issues with this before?
While nice when new these are too old of technology to even consider unless a total factory look is a must. They don't even have Bluetooth. An inexpensive aftermarket double din would give far more features for half the cost in my opinion.
I agree, and the navigation system blows, just my situation is A) i dont want to spend the money to convert to an aftermarket navi setup B) dont want to pay to replace this one C) really would rather keep the stock integrated nav hud and voice command, even though that as a selling feature is probably mute at this point. lol
It should be able to be repaired . I would hit up some Corvette forums and do some searches as these things you are seeing most likely have happened before. Maybe there is a work around, or maybe some info where to send the unit. Nav on the HUD is this units best feature , something my aftermarket radio will not do .Love the HUD lol. Its defiantly worth fixing, if the cost is reasonable.

Well, not really. Nav is an option on the aftermarket head units, and it really pushes the price up on the better models. Screen mirroring is a work around from your phone, and while it does work it is definitely not the same as a unit with Nav. A cheap double din can be had with every feature, but really you get what you pay for. Unless you do a ton of research or have options to try out the cheaper models in my opinion its better to stick with a brand name unit and pay more.
I have a pioneer unit that has a app for my phone. Cost me 380. I installed myself. But the app brings the news current events and things to do along with navigation. Or you can opt for the modules for a hard wired gps to plug in. Plays my music displays my text messages. And I can watch movies if I choose. Plus Bluetooth. I mean I don't see why the resistance to the aftermarket compared to the almost 10 yrs old head units you guys are wantin to utilize
My Kenwood has Nav and a ton of options, and also the phone app. You are right, the new units are packed with features and are a better option but I wouldn't rule out fixing the factory to save some money. I still havn't figured how to receive texts on mine, it is supposed to be able to but really isnt that important to me.
