Is it possible to Add Factory Nav to a 6th Gen Camaro?

*mlee* · 09-15-2024, 01:25 PM

My search basically came up with no...

I have both Android and IPhone and use both phone apps but much prefer to keep my phone and car not connected so not interested in any other option than factory nav.

I screwed up and left Nav off my last Camaro order but didn't realize how much I actually used the integrated Map for simply checking location and roads etc rather than the actual navigation function.

Anybody...

Is this no longer an option for model year 2024? Hopefully the dealership or your contacts at GM can advise.

White Automotive and Media Services.
I added PDR to my '22 1SS 1LE and they threw in factory NAV.
Works great.

Didn't know if it was an option at all. Nothing changed in 2024 so this is good news to me.

So I tried inserting this card from my 2019 Z but still don't have the Nav Icon so I guess it will need a dealer flash.

Seems pretty straight forward..

That card is most likely just the maps database, and not navigation update. Also the maps SD cards once installed/used with a vehicle get VIN locked to that vehicle and cannot be used with another GM vehicle even if exact same model and year.

Yeah, the card is definitely the maps but I think the VIN is only married to the electronic module. No matter what card you use it wouldn't work unless the correct software was there. I bet the cards can't be copied though.

I'll try swapping cards once I get the software updated.

Just had no idea how much I glanced at the map until driving this car without it.

WAMS will send a card with your returned radio module.

Still wonder if I could save ~250 and copy the one I have... but that would be too easy.
