In-dash Nav on a C5?
After 6 years without a corvette, I've rejoined the ranks with the purchase of an '04 black on black coupe. 
Now the real fun begins! The mods.
Has anyone replaced the stock Bose/Delco CD system with an in-dash navigation setup and if so, what brands/models? Any tips, hints or horror stories out there?

I created the image for my d1 and shared it with the forum. Feel free to use it for yourself (just don't use it commercially).
For instructions on how to install it (at least on an Avic D1) search around on this forum... it should be pretty easy to find: http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=21

Here's an Eclipse 5435. They had to shave the cross bar under the unit for it too fit but you have to look really hard to notice it
