I see you switched the locations of the HVAC and the HU. It looks nice.

Was actually very simple..The only thing I had to modify was I removed the stand-offs for the radio than reshimed for the HVAC unit depth and a few new holes in the plastic mounting tabs.

The AVIC unit had to be shimmed out some, I moved it as close to the top as possible so it would clear the shifter, the face plate fit up under the cross bar on the dash plate and filled in the space under the HVAC unit.

no mods needed to any wires or plugs the HVAC opening is a bit deeper than the radio opening.

Thats an idea I hadn't thought of.
I am planning to put the n2 in my C5.
Thanks for the pictures.

Which "face plate" did you use?

I may go this route.

I guess I am still confused.

Radioactive.....is that a company or is that a forum member?

Where did you purchase the faceplate?

If I get a AVICN2 - what else do I need to purchase to set mine up like you did?

Radioactive is an audio store in the Atlanta area. The faceplate was a generic filler plate. everything else came with the unit. I did have to have a kit (soundgate bose interface ) to hook into the Bose speakers.

It took most of the day to work out the install I mounted the GPS unit under the glove box.
