Is there anyway to make a C5Z into Bluetooth without have to remove the original radio components?
Yes there is... I just did mine.
IF... you have the 10 disc changer then all you need...Peripheral PXDP PXHGM4 Chevrolet Corvette 97-04 iPod Adapter its a plug and play for your Ipod or Smart Phone... then you can get a Aluratek - 30-Pin Bluetooth Audio Receiver from Best Buy and plug into your IPOD adapter for hands free Bluetooth....
Pics of my install
I usually just keep the Bluetooth Receiver IN the console... everything looks stock and runs through the stock radio...
IF you don't have the 10disc CD change you can do the same thing but, you still have to REMOVE the radio to plug in the adapter...
SO now I can play CD's, Radio, Ipod, I phone/Pandora, Bluetooth....
By the way... the UPGRADED Kicker speakers I bought from DENNIS made a significant difference in sound quality... they are plug and play as well.... GOOD LISTENING

Actually I don't have a 10 diskCD player in the car ... This car Z06 didn't come with one installed at factory.
However this gives me hope of being able to get something done?
It's very simple to remove the Radio for this upgrade...
For those who do not have a cd changer in the trunk! This unique interface allows you to control an iPod directly from the factory radio or the iPod controls/clickwheel. Delivers CD quality sound directly into the factory sound system via the CD...

Kenwood makes an amp that has bluetooth connectivity. Basically it bypasses your headunit and plays your bluetooth device directly to the amp and speakers. I know there is at least one guy on here installing one. I'm looking to do the same, but probably going to have to wait until the fall.
