Question about head unit fit in a C5
I looked in the audio thread, and I know that I will need an adaptor to work witht he Bose, but different sites conflict on what will and won't fit in a C5.
I was planning on one of the Pioneer DEH units that are usually an exact fit for the large face GM radio. But some sites say it won't fit a C5
Do these fit ? Anything else I need to do it myself ?
Recomendations ?

a 1 1/2 din should fit since its the same size as the OEM but there arent many to be found
a double din will fit with some slight modification to the trim and there are a couple threads posted recently including mine where I added a double din HU.
if you look up on an automated site what fits the C5, you will get a typical response that says not much, as its not a direct replacement size but the reality is you can pretty much get anything to fit.
IM not familiar with that specific unit but I cant imagone why it wouldnt fit... good luck and maybe others can help out as well
