Default Help...Looking For A Navigation Unit for my C5

My 02 Z06 had the factory Bose in it and I'm looking to replace it with and in dash AM/FM navigation unit. As your aware on the C5 the AC ducks are above the radio and I live in Arizona where its a 1000 degrees and need the AC. What do you suggest. Funds are linited and I would like to install it myself but have no idea what I'm letting myself in for. Been thinking about the AVIC D1 or D2.

The Pioneer AVIC D3 is what I installed in my VY '06. I love it and it was not too hard to install.

What you need before you start:
1)CF Forum access 24/7
2)time (took me a week working nights)
3)patience
4)courage
5)CF Forum access 24/7

Really, I never thought I could do this myself but my normal stereo buddy was booked up and I had to finish on a deadline.




It's a Kenwood, not Pioneer but all the work is the same.
