C6 Nav head unit in a C5?

Will a stock C6 nav head unit fit in a C5 without major surgery? Has anyone done it?

Thanks

Dave

well its a double din unit so you'll need to do some surgery. Like the bezel mod and mod the brackets too.

All of the C6 heads are HEAVILY dependent on the serial data bus. I don't know C5's, but I have to believe that since there are major differences in the modules required to use an aftermarket head in a C5 vs a C6 that the data buses used in the 2 gens are quite different.

Besides, for what you'd pay for the C6 stock unit you could get a WAY better aftermarket head. I have factory NAV and if I had it to do over again, I wouldn't order it.
