Milestone Reached
Thanks. I was still working a contract when I purchased the car, but my retirement was on the near horizon. My wife was also near retirement, so we did purchase the car with the intent of using it for road trips whenever possible. It turned out to be a very comfortable road trip vehicle, with... -
Milestone Reached
In 2009, I purchased my 2006 C6 in St. Mary's Ohio with 10,000 km's on the clock. Flew in to pick it up at Bud's Chevy dealership, then drove it approx. 2000 km's to home. Today, on the way to the golf course, a Milestone of 200,000 km's was reached, so I pulled over and took a pic of the... -

OEM Nav Stereo
It's plug and play, but to run the Navigation, you need to add the GPS antenna, and a speed source to the GPS navigation. I'm in Quispamsis if you need any further info. Pm me. I also have a GM nano tech II to marry the nav unit to your car rather than you needing to go to a dealer and get... -

Question Column bypass module
GM dealers can remove the column lock from the 2005 Manual vehicles. Why would anyone bother with a bypass that can also fail? Here is the TSB for the permanent fix https://www.tsbsearch.com/Chevrolet/18-NA-346 -
head up display
It can be done rather easily. The kit comes with all the necessary components. |You would need to remove the dash blank bezel cover and replace it with the HUD bezel. -
Any issues with replacing the head unit on a c6 car?
It should be noted that you need the wiring interface kit from Aftermarket unit to the OEM harness. Te Pac Audio RP5-GM11 harness will retrofit all functions including Onstar. The RP4-GM11 harness is more specific working with Bose cars but doesn't retain OnStar. Both come with steering wheel... -
C6 Mods What You Have Done and What Would You Like To Do With Your Beast!!
I've had my 2006 since 2009, so over the years, during the winter hibernation, I have done at least one mod each year. 1) Removed entire interior, added sound and heat insulation kit. 2) replaced the headlight lenses and painted the bezels black while I had access 3) Replaced stock spoiler with... -
This past week, my C6 08 coupe, has been having a small girgling sound from the dash, not often, but periodically. Any ideas as to what this sound is?
Does the gurgling happen when you shut the car down? If so, it could be the AC coil ice melting and dripping on the exhaust which is a normal function. -
Steering column lock 2005 corvette
The dealer now has a TSB fix for the 2005 manual column lock. It's not cheap, but it eliminates the nuissance. A much better solution than buying and installing a bypass, which also fails in due time. Once the message comes up and the car won't start, to get it to unlock temporarily, disconnect... -
Brushless Car wash
On most of our many road trips, We pre plan and know where we will be stopping each night prior to reaching our final destination. Google shows me where any self serve washes are located, so I input the address into the Navigation prior to the trip. Once we finish supper, I visit a self serve... -
