Thread title pretty much says it all but a friend wanted to install an in dash garmin nav in his stingray but said he had heard his HUD would no longer work. I wanted to know as well because I plan to also install this on my Z06 when I get one. I don't want to order the PDR with the factory nav. I just prefer the Garmin units and I dont want a hand held unit. I don't mind losing the HUD I just wanted to know if that was the case. Thanks !!

The in dash infotainment system is fully integrated with the dash and the cars electronics. If you replace that with an aftermarket head unit you lose all the vehicle configuration menus and who knows what else.

The days of replacing head units in cars is a thing of the past with all the electronics integrations. With that said, I don't think it would effect the HUD.

Oh ok, that sounds like a bad idea then. Maybe some kind of custom placed handheld unit is a better way to go. Thank you!! I seen a few guys on here put some behind that screen. I just wonder if it will constantly lose signal.

There are companies that are now making devices that will let you connect your smart phone to the C7 screen. Nav from phone will appear on screen and voice commands will come thru car speaker, but without the touch functions on screen, you still need to use the phone to manage inputs.
