Just be aware the GPS they are talking about is Onstar, not the factory GPS.


As you are aware, Cars equipped with a HUD have a different windshield. The windshield has a layer of reflective film laminated between the two layers of safety glass. Additionally, the HUD windshield is .3mm thicker at the base and tapered toward the top. This taper is designed to set the focal point of the HUD precisely in the area where the projector projects the HUD image on the glass. The C5 owners originally, and now the C6 owners, were fond of adding a Hud to vehicles that did not have one and most of us did it without adding the special windshield. This will give you a 90% solution. There will be some circumstances that without the film the hud image isn't as bright and some direct sunlight situations where it will not be visible. Otherise you can't quite tell the difference.

The Onstar antenna is referred to as a digital navigation antenna but it has nothing to do with your navigation radio. It does have to do with Onstar's ability to know where your car is. The box will transfer but the bracket is permenantly attached to the windshield.

The parts are as follows:

C6 Corvette

Windshield without UE1 (Onstar) without UV6 (HUD) 25821509 List $ 521.18

Windshield with UV6 (HUD) without UE1 (onstar) 25821510 List$1,302.97

Windshield with everything (HUD and onstar) 15778613 List $946.79

Z06 is also specific if it has Onstar or not, but HUD is a given.

Hope that helps.
