Default GPS/radio upgrade

I am looking to upgrade my C5's radio with a unit that has a GPS. Much like the factory system that is in newer cars. I have looked at Best Buy and not really found anything. Has anybody made this upgrade? Thank you.

Get in touch with Dennis from doubledmods. He is around the audio forums a lot. He's get a great conversion package. I'm getting mine from him after the holidays are over (that is, if my loving wife/family haven't already gotten my not-so-subtle hints and purchased it for me).

He's got quite a few packages to meet most peoples needs/budgets. His screen name here is C5 Bears Fan (or something close)

Check out my post #16 in the DIY thread. Although you may not want this type of unit, it shows whats involved in fitting one.

The AVIC N1/N2/N3 series are out of production now although some are still around on E Bay.

Dennis at Double D Mods will help you if you go Double DIN as you'll need a modified console

Dennis just did mine a couple days ago. Replaced the stock radio and bezel with Kenwood 7704. Great upgrade and Dennis is great to work with.
