I'm swapping an LSx, and been wondering the same thing. If I can modify the interior and dash to a C5 or a C6. I'm still googling, didn't find anything so far.

Short answer is no, won't work, long answer involves the buss cable and a body control module, I researched this a couple years ago.

All the C5's gauges are digitally controlled. It's not as simple as plugging in sensors. The 2 main onboard "brains" of the C5 are the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) and BCM (Body Control Module). Basically think of what the first one would control based on its name, then think of all the other electronics in the car that leaves out. That would be the BCM's job.
