Default radio upgrade

I have a 2004 C5 Coupe. I am interested in replacing the factory radio with a double din radio with navigation, Bluetooth and Sirius capabilities. I don't want to make any changes to my stock arraignment. Any suggestions or has anyone gone through this procedure.
Thanks,
Eddie B.

Talk to Dennis at Double D Mods. He's the expert on double din radios for C5's. You will have to modify the center dash surround as the stock radio is not a double din size. Dennis does this work too.

He has a great line of radios that will have the options you want and he also has the adapters to allow the use of the stock Bose speakers and amps.

Dennis started this thread earlier this month. Maybe not exactly the unit you are looking for, but his contact information is there. Give him a call and you will get excellent information and his customer service is fantastic!.

Here's a link to the Double D Mods website:
http://shop.doubledmods.com/CORVETTE_c136.htm

Just click on that line and you should see his website. His phone number is at the upper left; his shop is in Wisconsin. You can look thru the C5 stuff by clicking on the pic of the C5.

Another recommendation for contacting Dennis at Double D Mods. He can set you up with a great system and at a good price.

I don't know where you live, but any good auto stereo shop could set you up.
