Default C5 Stereo....

I'm thinking about replacing the stock radio CD player. I'd like to get something with a USB and Bluetooth built in. Maybe even with Satellite radio.

Anyone done this to their C5?

Get with Shagster at Chesapeake Custom Audio. He did my Kenwood touch screen system. NOBODY does better work...PERIOD.
PM me if you want his number or more info on the system.

Contact Rick Kim at RKTPerformance.com. I do believe he will be selling the stereo out of the Gentleman's Cruiser.

Kenwood DNX 8140
JL C5 6.5 door components with the tweeters mounted behind the door latches.
JL HD600 amp
JL 10w3 sub in stealth box.

Great sounding system.

It has a nice bezel and looks almost factory. Too many of them allow the radio to sit out an inch or 2, a look I didn't like. Got the unit and mounting kit from Dennis at DDmods.

Replaced mine with a Kenwood last year. Now that hand holding a phone while driving is illegal in this state...BlueTooth is a must.
