I think I had to ask about four times before someone finally made it click with me. I could not get the console open.

I just learned last week that I have a 12-Disc CD player in the trunk of my car and I've owned the car for 2 years! The person I was showing the car to also pushed in my mirror and I looked at him like he was crazy! I had no idea the mirrors moved that way! I still haven't opened my console lid all they way and I use it everyday to get my bridge pass out of. :o

I'll learn!

Default Console Lid

I just hope the idiot that designed the console lid for the C5 no longer works for GM. Or maybe it wasn't just one idiot. It probably took a whole team or committee of idiots to design it!

Yes, the center console is double-hinged so that when you open it all the way (vertical) it will stay like that without touching it. Of course if you so much as breathe on it, the console snaps shut like a gator!!

The shift light is so small that you won't notice it unless your concentrating on the HUD instead of the road...something you probably shouldn't do at 5,800 rpm!!
Then again, I've seen the shift light so what does that say about me?

● If you have a 6-speed car you can pop the trunk when the car is running by lifting the e-brake.

I agree...I had the mirror replaced (new OEM, painted and replaced) at a cost of $325.00.
