Default C6 Nav unit in C5

I'd like to install a Nav unit from a C6 in my C5 conv. I can source the double din dash surround and head unit from a salvage C6 but I don't know what I'm getting into with the wiring.

any insight appreciated.......

Go aftermarket. The C6 unit will not hook up to a C5. The C6 unit is tied into the BCM of the C6.
