The BEST $597.98 I Spent on the C5 Corvette | DriveHub

[@gilgonzalez5902]

For anybody watching this in 2024 the newer generation of this head unit is the DMH-W2700 NEX and it has WIRELESS Carplay. This is a huge upgrade considering like he said there is nowhere to put your phone while driving. So your phone now doesn’t have to leave your pocket at all.

[@lIlIIlIlIIlIl]

Appreciate that info 🤙

[@gagelawler9712]

Same wiring & dash kit ?

[@gagelawler9712]

Also. The interface he used is no longer available.

[@jasonnorling1935]

Cheers for updated info

[@shifty6915]

I'm a little late to the party, but... Can you add XM satellite radio to the car with the DMH-W2700 NEX? Where does the XM receiver go?

[@marcust510]

So glad you did another video specifically touching on this unit. Came across one of your older videos of the all the things you’ve done to your C5 a while back & was like wtf is that & how tf do I get one!? Lol all heroes don’t wear capes🔥🙌🏽

[@IanDoohan]

Yep, watched your install video on the 1400 SEVERAL TIMES, before diving in to my own. I did the 4660 and the Vettenuts bezel for a SUBSTANTIAL ADDED COST however, I wanted wireless CarPlay, and a stock look. Still, appreciated your video on your install. 👍🏻

[@joelserna7435]

Well thanks gor your videos !! I just got my first C5 and getting this installed soon

[@jamesdockery3202]

I upgraded my C-5 with a new touch screen. Sound is awesome. My only regret is not having a steering wheel control.

[@SarbjitSingh-rs6kp]

Did you have to use any adapter for the speakers ?

[@tylerfrakesrealtor]

I’m 6’5” too and shopping for my first C5. Glad to see you fit 🤣👍

[@havok8570]

Do you have any rear view camera recommendations that work with this unit?

[@SunGxdRa]

7:47 Why not run that cable to the center console with an adapter to replace the 12v port instead? Seems like the best option considering the center console is the only place to put a phone in a C5

[@scubasteve31583]

the metra has the same fitment issues, I tried forever to straighten it too and it didn't go that well. I think I needed to drill the holes differently on the chassis holders.

[@rz1246]

Thanks for your channel. Your video convinced me to 1). get a Pioneer 2660 which has touch screen AND a remote (no fingermarks) lol and 2). have someone else install it. The Bose speakers really sound GREAT with the Pioneer compared to old factory unit. A noticable improvement. As you said a harness was required and they also put in video lockout bypass trigger. I also had the shop put in a back up camera as well. Additionally, I had the cig lighters converted to USB's so one on the dash/console is just for charging and the one in the armrest box is where I connect the stereo to the iphone. Keep up the good work. Are your clear turn signal lights from Vette Lights?

[@sin1570]

whats a video lockout bypass trigger for? the cig lighters to USBs is cool ima have to do that

[@unhappycloud4120]

How much did all of that cost you

[@336grayy]

I clicked on a recommended video about the old c6 corvette review and liked it, I then went to view the account and was surprised by the guy I saw on the channel until I realized the video I had just watched was from four years ago. 😂

[@Teagan_Hughes]

My only question is does the Head Unit still have actual Radio

[@TheOldPCTech]

I considered this one when I was buying one to upgrade my C5, but I went with a Jensen (can't remember the model at the moment) for several reasons. 1. I don't really need Apple carplay or Android auto, just Bluetooth for calls and streaming music. 2. It had inputs for both a backup and a front camera. I don't know about the rest of you, but I have a problem judging the distance to curbs in my C5. Nothing else... Just my Corvette... Adding a front camera has saved the nose of my car... 😉 If anyone is interested in the unit I went with, I'll be glad to comment later with that info, and where I purchased it. FYI - The front camera mounted easily to the brake vent on the nose with included double sided tape, and isn't really noticeable unless you are looking for something.

[@mass9213]

I’m interested in the name?

[@Spyziy]

I could really use that front camera haha. I smashed the front bumper horribly on a curb trying to park.... not cool.

[@jeffgrusky1115]

Nice radio but those aftermarket bezels are a hard no for me. The flip door and lid on the cup holder are just too nice to give up IMO. Also the finish. If you get that expensive vettenuts bezel then it could be nice but the joying 8.8 radio is definitely a better buy for the c5. I feel bad for saying this, but you really should consider adding the alternative solutions in the description because there is a better solution at a similar price point (joying 8.8 is $400)

[@ZackaryTheGreat]

I bought this dash kit and yours fits so much better than mine. My key hole is off to the right and the top is also short leaving big gap at the top left. I think mine must have been made on a Friday.

[@TheOneWhiteST]

Is this plug and play with that interface? i get a little edgy having to cut wires and add them.

[@matthewboudreaux2693]

6’5”, Ha, I’m 5’6” and the factory coating on my 03 AE (shale color ) is wearing out the same as yours is. I think it’s a 6 speed thing and because we actually drive our cars instead of just looking at them.

[@conanlive3784]

I can live with the stock Bose radio in my '98. I need something to replace my heating/cooling module, or at least a way to fix the fact that the light has burned out and doesn't display anymore. I think something can be re-soldered inside it??

[@Rocky_zo6]

Me personally the money you spend you restore the H/C module Another 100/200 bucks you could just get a whole new module my dude

[@jamesvandyke5874]

My AC/Heater control is completely dark now, lasted a while just dim. There are companies you can take it out and send it (I would mark it and take pictures to recover your unit back.) and they would resolder. There are a few Videos on the Tube and seems easy enough. I will most likely do it myself soon. Also my ECBM needs resoldering so that's a metal burning party. Whoohoo

[@conanlive3784]

@@Rocky_zo6 I'd like to get a new one......but I have a friend who is a parts dept. manager at a Chevrolet dealership, and he said they're discontinued. Where would I get a new one?

[@DonDaniels-kt2no]

I recently pulled mine took about 30 min. It had gone completely dark. I shipped it to a company on eBay paid $99.00 and they shipped it back in 72 hrs. with new LED bulbs. AWESOME 😎. I was really apprehensive but I must say it save me the money a new or refurbished unit would cost.

[@imkeerock]

I want to know more about that aerodynamic modification on the roof of the car... LOL:) Cool radio by the way and love your C5!

[@fatmattsadventures2796]

I’m running the Course Motorsport magnet mount for my phone in the C5. Great placement, you should check it out

[@billmea5593]

So if I’m replacing the head unit and all the speakers do I still need the access interface?

[@ricklipford8762]

Another great video enjoyed it very much 😊 great job 👍

[@904C5ZOSIX]

What about that short shifter? What kind is it? MGW?

[@retrobear9367]

I took out all the bose crap a few weeks ago. Replaced it with a full Kenwood system ( - the self powered Rockford sub). Now im getting intermittent cut outs from everything going to the amp. Either gotta rewire when I can finally get a heater in my garage, ugh

[@Maxreverse]

Great video and funny. Considering it for my 2002 C5.

[@duhrrman6666]

Have you been able to tell an Improvement with the overall Sound since installing the Pioneer unit with the Bose Speakers?

[@reaper1874]

[@Wwilltzx99]

Do you know if that radio interface with a C6? I most of time don’t listen to no music but I like a neat looking radio upgrading the interior!!!

[@davekent20]

Nice, now I'm going to get one maverick 😉

[@HimmyBucksGaming]

@drivehub did you have to buy another double din dash kit to make the head unit fit? Or can you use the original dash kit with this particular head unit?

[@santaclause2875]

Cool car, cool radio, I love it. My old '89 vert needs a new radio, not sure which one to choose. Cool videos, Jake!! You are an absolute total fricken HOOT!!!!!! Merry Christmas.

[@tiburciofelipe8680]

You need one of these for the Ford

[@briancleveland6115]

That would look good in my 02 yellow Corvette.

[@KyshinKyshin]

personally i put in one with a fold out screen so that it fits into a one din space, but it was more expensive, it was whatever pioneer unit i got, i think it was $750, but gives it more of a stock look if i tuck the screen away

[@fks-pv8il]
