Yeah man, this is a huge help for me. Tomorrow I'm installing a new Pioneer H/U that I bought from Dennis at DoubleD Mods. :D

I've got your pics and instructions all printed out. If you lived in my area, I would definitely buy you a beer. Heck, I'd buy dinner, LOL. :flag:

Again, many thanks for taking the time to post good pics and explain the process in detail. Kudos :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

EDIT: I copied and pasted cdkcorvette7's terrific instructions from post #1, then edited, then saved as a 9-page PDF file, which is available for download on my server. The file size is about 1MB, not too big. Here's the link to get the PDF file: http://csgbenefits.org/C6_Console_and_Radio_Removal.pdf Right-click, then "Save as"......

My car is a 2008 and I used the write up as shown. I did notice a few small discrepancies, but got my new H/U in with no problems at all. Hope this helps...........

You Sir are a godsend. My C6 shifter locked up while on a trip and when I trailered it home I found your post and I'm on the road to replacing the automatic shifter. Thank you for taking the time to help us all out. I salute you. :flag:

I have done this so many times I can get it out in 6-7 minutes. I have had that in and out so many times lol. If anyone needs help in the RI or MA area hit me up, I would be glad to help

hi guys, do you guys know if a 2008+ radio/shifter console will fit a 2005 c6?

From the Looks of it it seems it will but not 100% sure

Thanks in advance

It will fit, but your airbag indicater light will not have a spot in an 08 console as the airbag light was moved to the rear view mirror. I moved my light to the glovebox above the keyed switch. I made a little box for it, if you need pics i can take them tomorrow. I will say it looks soooo much better than the cheap looking silver. Good luck

AC Control unit
 
Great description, this will get me to the point where I need to replace the AC (flashing) control unit. Is there a TSB to rectify the flashing or do I need to replace the unit still? If I replace the unit myself will I need any reprogramming from the dealer, or is it just a plug and play? I had a price for the dealer to replace and they want $680 for the unit and $165 labor, what a rip off. I see the genuine replacement on ebay for $330.
First time replying here, but many time reader, great forum.

It's a simple plug and play. Can be changed in 15-20 minutes. Buy yourself a used one and save a bunch of money.

Thanks, Does the quick change include getting the center console and trim out of the way? Looks like there are probably two mounting screws and then just a bunch of connectors at the back?

taken19 06-11-2016 10:22 PM

Correct. Pull the trim off, remove 2 mounting screws (maybe 4... Can't remember) and unplug. Pretty easy.
