Okay, first post in this area of the forum (to which I still can't figure out how to get here...).
It appears that you cut the stock center console opening for the radio and moved part of it down, to make the opening bigger. If that's the case, what did you use to "bondo" up the opening created when you moved that section down? If you made the radio opening bigger, then the AC unit had to move down. How did you not have to get rid of the ashtray area? Again, I'm new to this section. Your console looks amazing, just as if it was stock. Great job! |
first off... sweet job on the bezel! the finished product looks GREAT! congrats on the new mod and thanks for posting some install pics. enjoy the new setup!! :cheers:

How were you able to determine the new exact position of bracket locations to match up with the bezel? Was it just trial and error or did you take measurements?
By the way, Thats a really nice install. How did you drill the hole for the rear camera without disturbing the plate light? Thanks, - Danny - |

I had the Bose system and I tied into the stock 12 pin harness. The bose uses the speed sensor to raise and lower the volume according to the RPMs. The wire is at the back of the stock bose harness, dark green with a white stripe. Also, where did you tap for the reverse signal? Where did you get the right angle attachment for your drill... I went to Home Depot and asked for one, and he acted like he had no idea where I could get one. If any other tips, that would be great. Thanks, Justin |

Do you have a picture of the harness? How is that wire working for you, any problems because some people use the wire behind the custer or wire near the pcm.... Or is it the same wire but easier to get to.

I went to Home Depot and asked for one, and he acted like he had no idea where I could get one. If any other tips, that would be great. Thanks, Justin I know its on the 12 pin stock harness. I tapped into the backup lights in the back for the reverse signal. I wanted to make sure I got a good signal. I read there are other places, but the more I read the more I got confused and eventually just went with what I knew. I also used that for the back up camera install, worked great. My brother-in-law gave me the angle grill. He told me be bought it at Home Depot.(could have been a while back, don't know) |
I found the 90 degree angle chuck at ACE hardware and Harbor Freight Tools.
EDIT: Its 45 dollars at ACE and 25 dollars at Harbor Freight... I could not tell the difference. I first bought a trick orbital style chuck that adjusted to other angles as well for 35 dollars from ACE. Although it was pretty neat, it does NOT FIT for this C5 project. So don't waste your money on it like I did. |
