Default Navigation for our C5's??

Hey guys, the only thing missin from my interior is Nav! i went on e bay and saw many systems for sale that were taken out of escalades, yukons, etc...... Would these work in out vettes? I dont want to buy one of the pop out aftermarket head units cause I want to keep a factory look. Is there any other nav system that fits perfectly in the radio slot of our c5's?? Thanx for the info!

It looks like the a kenwood will fit without any mods. I saw this at the Seattle Roadster show. I think i just may have to do this.
