Default c6 oem navigation radio in c5

Hi guys:
Can a c6 radio with navigation unit be installed in a c5? I read that you have to take the vette to gm dealer so vin # isprogram in the computer. Other than that is there any other thing needs to be done if this installation is possible? Thanks JJ

The C5 radio bezel is a 1.5 din bezel and the c6 nav unit is a 2din. So it wont fit without physical modifications. There are quite a few vendors here that do that though.

Any so many people pull them out of the C6 for aftermarket anyways.

If your bezel is stock its a 1.5 din and not a double din.
Also the C6 radio is larger than a normal double din sized radio as well.

You will need to go aftermarket to get a double din in the c5 along with a modification.

We can help you with the modification as well and supply everything including the radio needed to do so.

example of a C5 Pioneer NEX 8100 Conversion we did for a customer.





Call me if you would like more info and for me to better explain your options and what is involved
