Default SLOWLY getting there....

I picked up a NIB F900BT over the weekend with XM, rear cam and iPod stuff.
Taking forever to get this sucker in. Taking my time on all the wiring plus I have sound deadner that "should" be here by the end of the week per Madvette. We'll see

I have to say, it sure is nice doing this work with the car on the bottom locks of the 4 post lift I just got.

Pre-cut is a bit of a misnomer, as the pieces are definitely pre-cut, and some fit pretty well, but have a safety knife and some tape handy to modify as you see fit and get smooth fit. Double up in some areas and it will be a bit of an adventure getting all of the interior to fit back smoothly and snap into place.


Not trying to scare you, as it is a pretty good product, just don't want you to expect a drop in and go installation.

I never take a book by it's cover. I have not ran across any plug and play product that actually was.

I've done the insulation mod on both my C5s - one with uncut rolls of Frost King and the second recently with Madvette's kit. The second time was much easier. Sure, it took some work, but it definitely flowed much easier and took less time. Dave did a great job with the kit and the price is very good.

Here's my install thread.
