- Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone! This year I decided to treat my girl right and so I finally got a new stereo in the C5 Corvette (also some tint, but I don't think y'all need a video for that)! I hope you guys enjoy the upgrade and the video - this seemingly simple project ended up being a bit more involved than I thought it would be, but the end result was worth it! Hopefully my mistakes & issues can help you guys avoid them should you decided to change out your stereos as well.
Also, big shoutout to Jake @DriveHub for his double-din install video, he definitely helped me figure out I wasn't crazy when the radio power was tripping out due to the Axxess harness! Checkout his video here:

Great idea with the leather 👌
Very nice job. I just, like two days ago, put a Sony double din head unit in my 99 convertible that is exactly like yours. I like the leather you put in. Very creative. I'm also having some issues with the power coming on when you put the key into the ignition. Please elaborate on how you fixed that.
When you tapped into the brown wire on the ignition, dod you still have the RAP features? Great video!
I'm right in the middle of installing a single DIN Pioneer into my 1999 C5 with the Axxess XSVI-2004 interface. I've watched and read a lot before starting this (there's a lot of conflicting and questionable info out there). I'm currently testing the harness before tidying up and I've hit a problem that is a bit similar to that mentioned here.
I have issues with mine. I used a Kenwood with a pac adapter to the bose stuff. I lose bass after prolonged play at high volume. Also yay another person who used weather tech mats in their vette!
Great change Garrett. Once you have used the C-7 infotainment system it is hard to go back to something less. Your changes did so much to the dash to improve the C-5 dash. I find myself using Apple carplay all the time. Why do I keep paying for XM, I don't know.
I got to do mine!!!!👍👍
Corvette logo on pioneer nice touch
Should have bought the Vettenuts double din, you keep the existing doors that hide the cigarette lighter and cup holder and you don’t have to move the AC unit, just the radio.
I did this exact same mod with the module connection, but lost my bass signal....still working on it.
Looks great. Did you have any problem with the power antenna with the new receiver?
Good video. Need that in my C5. You need to lay off the caffeine though.
Love the radio. Would have left the console black
Did mine lost bass and got a noise .
