here's a few -- I did an alpine ilx650 touch screen, c7 seats, stripped everything out of the interior and covered it with matching charcoal leather w/ red stitching, including the entire dash, door panels, upper and lower, center console, steering wheel, etc. The leather on the c7 seats was in good condition, but the red didn't match, so I had the seats stripped and recovered

i'm using an Alpine ilx-507, one of the best of the best current DD head units you can get now.




if you really want a touch screen with all the apps, check into the MAXDIN unit coming out for c5 soon




here's how the finished unit looks on a c6:

thanks.. no, the alpine has hookups for I think 2 or 3 cameras, I didn't bother to put them in, really don't need them on a convertible, the visibility is practically unobstructed.

hopefully that's the case with the head unit.

I'm on his list, but still not sure something like that really fits in the look of the c5. I think it may be too much -- even if it comes out, I may stick with a DD .. we'll see

@JMG2 The reworked interior in your C5 looks fantastic. A job well done.

They're blue led speaker rings that sit between the speaker base and the box or door mount. Tapped the light trigger to the parking lights so they'll only come on when it's dark

Alpine head unit and optional volume **** mounted on console. Before you buy this set up, talk to me, it has some quirks.
