To SR-71'
I have a slightly different analysis of the situation.
The “2015-corvette-standard-optional-equipment.pdf” file obtained from this forum says:
The following is standard equipment on all model lines:
UE1 OnStar, 6 months of Directions and Connections plan
1 - Service not available with a ship-to of Puerto Rico or
the Virgin Islands. Visit onstar.com for coverage map,
details and system limitations. Services vary by model
and conditions.
The following is Standard Equipment on LT1 & LT2
Not available on LT3
IO5 Chevrolet MyLink audio system,
8" diagonal color touch-screen, AM/FM stereo with seek-and-scan and
digital clock, includes Bluetooth streaming audio for
music and select phones; Pandora, TuneIn radio,
Stitcher and Siri Eyes Free for compatible smartphones
The following is Standard Equipment on LT3
And available on LT1 & LT2
IO6 Chevrolet MyLink audio system with Navigation,
8" diagonal color touch-screen, AM/FM stereo with
seek-and-scan and digital clock, includes Bluetooth
streaming audio for music and select phones; Pandora,
TuneIn radio, Stitcher and Siri Eyes Free for compatible
Smartphones
This says nothing regarding the Performance Data Recorder being required or included with navigation. Navigation does not come with the PDR but nav is required if the PDR option is selected.
The following is Standard Equipment on LT3
And available on LT1 & LT2
UQT NEW! Performance data and video recorder
1 - Included and only available with (IO6) Chevrolet
MyLink audio system with Navigation.
Note that the PDR is a $1795.00 option and Navigation is a $0.00 option. While the text in the PDR option description is confusing, I don’t think that Chevy would require one to purchase the PDR just to get Navigation.
Back to Navigation and subscriptions.
OnStar offers several levels of service: “Basic”, “Safe & Sound”, and “Directions & Connections”. As noted above “Directions & Connections” which includes navigation, is standard equipment on all trims for 2015 (only a 6 month, free trial subscription). So if one selects option “IO6 - Chevrolet MyLink audio system with Navigation” you will have navigation for 6 months. After that you must purchase an OnStar subscription plan. The Directions & Connections plan costs $29.90 monthly or as little as $20.25 a month for a 3 year subscription (only $729 !!).
I hope I haven’t bored you and I may be incorrect, but that’s the way I see it.
Anybody else have a different opinion?
