Need C5 AVIC install info
I have run several searches but can't find the answers to a couple of question. Hopefully you gurus can help an audio neophyte.
I want a navigation unit and lean to the Pioneer AVIC flip-up screen model, but am concerned I will block the HVAC too much on road trips. Any problem there?
I found reference to a Pioneer to Bose speaker harness. I really don't want to do a system so can I use my stock speakers... and will it sound as good as the factory Bose setup? (plenty good enuf for me.)
Also, can I use my stock CD changer?
Has anyone posted how-to photos of an install in a C5 showing how to hook up the wiring and a rear camera?
Thanks in advance,
Jim
