During my visit to Ian Goss's place on Saturday, I was talking to him about fitting Satellite Navigation to my car (at the moment, I have one of those TomTom things), but expressed my irritation at the fact that, in order to make the installation of a double-din unit look "stock", I will need to have the dash-panel re-fabricated.

Ian then revealed that there was a company (Kenwood, Alpine or someone) who actually made a 1.5 Din Sat-Nav unit which fitted the stock C5 Stereo hole - does anyone know anything about this, and if so, would you be kind enough to point me in the right direction?

Cheers, folks! smile

Speak to Auto Audio, 0208 838 8838. They have already worked on several corvettes. Greg is probably the best man to talk to.

I have the Pioneer AVIC X1R fitted to mine. Its a stock 1.5 DIN unit and gives radio/CD/DVD and sat nav. You can aslo fit a voice control.

Its a good system and I paid about £1200. i think prices may have come down now. I have a "How To" which I put together when I installed it if you want a copy.

Thanks, man - the only problem being that the unit you have is a pop-out screen - I want a fixed screen so it looks like it came with the car! smile

speak to Lee or Barry @ LM Car Audio 01438 812 444

i'm having a custom DVD job done to mine and the 1.5 din isn't your only solution.
