I just ordered a 98 C5 Coupe from Carmax this weekend. We got a walk around description of it, and they said that it didn't have a CD player. Unless they simply overlooked a disk changer in the hatchback, I guess Ill have to install an aftermarket one in it. What are some good aftermarket CD playeres that are not too expensive ($200 or less) and are XM ready? I already have the Delphi Sky-Fi PnP XM unit in my Camaro which will be removed, but I am debating on if I should add it to the C5 or not because it is usually in the way in the Camaro and passengers are always hitting it. Also, where do you XM users place your antenna in your C5? Thanks!


Oh yeah, I will also be leaving the factory speakers alone if that will affect any of your opinions!

I'm pretty sure all 98's came with cd player, either in dash or changer in back, may be under cover there. mine is in dash, no changer. also no tape deck when you don't have the changer from factory. of course someone may have removed changer unit from the one you are looking at.

I was surprised when they said no cd player too. They probably just overlooked it since the car has some other expensive options such as dual roof panels and F45 suspension.
