Dash removal hardware question
How many clips are involved in the removal of a C5 dash/center console to get at the head unit? The ultimate point of the question is to determine how likely I am to have a loose or rattly dash post install due to clips that no longer fit as tight.

Thanks! You and the crew at DoubleD have been immensely helpful in guiding a C5 noob to victory.
Ordering an in-dash very soon (probably tonight).

From what I understand, this should include everything necessary?
**EDIT
Also, any tips on how/where to run a USB extension from the back of the radio into the cabin?

That kit should have everything except the tools and wire connectors.
If using USB for ipod I'd avoid the center console, many ipods have died a premature death in C5 consoles. Glove box is great if you have an ipod dedicated for the car. If you'll be plugging in a phone or something you take with you then I'd look for a way to run it out near the cup holder so you can put the source in there.

Great! I was planning on using a 16gb thumb drive for the USB port, and hooking up my android phone through the AUX IN on the front
