I just have not had time to mess with putting it on.



Installed the following
1- Kenwood DNX 6980
1- ARC Audio XDI805 5 channel mini amp
1- ARC Audio xxd 6009 front components
1- Arc Audio XXd 6029 rear 6.5" coax
1- Pioneer TS-SWX251 10 inch sub box



I didnt take any pics of the install other than the double din portion. Sorry I wasnt thinking
Ran all wiring to back of car and pullled off the drive side rear panel and mounted 5 channel amp behind it so its all hidden.

installed the new speakers in doors
ran wire to the sub.



I took some pics while doing this portion of the converison for you all below. The install was really simple. After I had everything cut out I took my spare bezel I bought and made it into a double din bezel. Keep in mind this is a temp bezel I made today. I am taking the original and making a new one and sending it off for a matching woodgrain hydrocarbon finish to make the dash look 100% stock. Having done a few hundred double din conversions this was one of the easiest I must say so nothing for you guys to be to scared of to tackle yourself.

OK here is a couple pics of the double din portion for you all.




Here is what it looked like when I started


With dash / bezel removed your looking at a stock radio with two screws holding it in


Radio out in a minute and left with a openign a little small for the new double din Kenwood


Out comes the air saw and I made some room for the new radio to test fit


With the extra space I slid in the new radio


Connected all my wiring and ready for mounting the new head unit.
I used the same brackets we use in all our C5 Corvette double din conversions.
fit perfectly.


All said and done with the new dash I textured and painted and reinstalled. Its not perfect yet but will be when the final dash piece comes back. It didnt turn out to bad for a days work I must say.





Sure is nice now having NAV, DVD, Bluetooth and Ipod features in the truck. The new sound with all the ARC Audio to go with it sounds really nice as well.

There you have it
