Default In dash navigation options for c5?

Are there any in dash navigation products that fit cleanly in place of the stock radio/cd player?

the 3 main units seem to be Pioneer, Eclipse, and kenwood.

the stock radio bezel will need to be slightly modified. im a vendor working on making some double-DIN bezels for the forum. ill have some finished results in about a week.

forum member ivan "ivandrea" has been kinda enough to send me all his stuff to use to design a bezel. he is running the kenwood unit. the idea is to move the HVAC down, to make room for the monitor. there will be no "edges" around the monitor.... everything will be molded smooth, and fit right around the monitor.

tom. i have a full day of cutting/molding ahead of me i should have some pics up tom. night to show some progress and give you an idea of what to expect! stay tuned!

You might want to post this in C5 Audio section. There are some REALLY SHARP people there that could answer anything you can throw at them. They were a Great help when I did my first one.

I had an Alpine head unit (which I installed) and then went to a Pioneer AVIC-N1 (AM/FM/Nav/CD/DVD/Rear View camera setup) and had that installed because it was a little more than I wanted to take on. It's a pretty basic install for someone that's knowledgeable in Car Audio (at least that's what my installer said).

The guy that put mine in, has done cars for Oprah, Michael Jordan, and quite a few other celebs, so I figured that I was in pretty good hands.

The pics of your work look amazing. I'll be lurking for the finished product pics and will make a decision on sending you mine for paint and modifications soon after that. For my sake I hope you don't get too backed up in a hurry but for your sake I hope you do Great talent you have.

My Pioneer AVIC D1 in dash with DVD unit and a 12 disc player.
The bezel needs to be dressed some to make it cleaner.

C5 KIDD --

I have the extra snap-in bezel for an Avic D1 if you want it for sizing. I didn't use it for my install but if it will help you build consoles, PM me with your address and I'll send it to you.

The AVIC N2 (inc Nav) is a straight fit in the opening

Flip up screen but it covers the A/C duct unless you move it down.
