Tech Thursday: C5 Infotainment   Why Mod?  The C5 came with a
radio and CD player. Now that navigation, DVD players and
satellite radio are available, many C5 owners wind up installing
aftermarket infotainment/NAV systems.  The system’s only two
redeeming features are that it can be used in concert with the
Head’s Up Display (HUD) while aftermarket systems cannot.  For
navigation, most owners simply use their smart-phones, buy a
windshield mounted Garmin or TomTom or replace/forego the entire
OEM radio opting for a Pioneer, Kenwood, or other aftermarket
system. One of the first steps to installing a system is
disassembling the center console, instructions are below (if
anyone wants to perform this tear-down and send pics, we’d
certainly appreciate them):  Tools required torx drivers (#15)
metric sockets & driver (7, 10 mm) phillips screwdriver  Step 1:
remove the center console cover by removing the four phillips
screws that attach it to its hinge  Step 2: remove the plastic
covers at the back of the console
