    iPod through aux on factory Delco stereo

    there isn't (in the conventional audio way). The AUX input is indeed for the rear mount CD changer. On 1999 thru 2004 C5's there is a factory run harness from the rear of the radio to the passenger footwell. (There are reports of 1997 and early 1998 C5's not having this first harness installed.)...

    can't get rear rotor off

    poor mans rotor puller: this worked perfectly for one side, but for the other side I still needed to nudge the rotor with a rubber mallet. Popped right off.

    Supplier discount question

    where did you get this information from? maybe you should read here: http://www.c5forum.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi/topic/17/112.html seems the discounting started in Jan 2005.

    add xm radio

    yes, but you need an aftermarket gizmo to use it. Look at the P.I.E GM-10AUX (or it may be the GM10-AUX or GMAUX-10). I am using it on my C5 stock head unit - feeding a MP3 player through.

    Front License Plate How To?

    the one pictured is not my cover; but the person who originally gave me the idea. But he and I both painted the body colored borders. The only variation I did on mine (versus the red one pictured) is it that a radiused the inside corners more to mimick the overall shape of the cover. It was...

    Front License Plate How To?

    yep; great piece. And some will paint a body colored border around it (on the inside surface) to help blend in with the front contours: [img]

    Catalytic converters removed?

    yep; the reason to reprog is like what you stated - except it's more to keep from invoking the limp mode- due to the disparity between front/rear as you described. The same can be accomplished my maintaining a rear sim voltage that is always on the good side of system normalcy. And of course...

    remote start

    c4c5specialist; that's some cool info and describes what must happen for a trouble free remote start operation. And there are systems to follow those quidelines - perfectly. But the post originator was not talking about aftermarket alarms... but just remote starters. And the key key on a C5...

    Gutting Pup Catalytic Converters

    I missed these. No smells and no codes. I've been driving for 2.5 years since. From what I've read, the pup-cats purpose is for cold startup only. They help the main cats get lit quicker. The main cats are there to do all the smog removal. Once the main cats are up to normal operating...

    remote start

    OK, I now get it. Some people are allowed to state "the world is flat" and if it's "certain" people... then it's not to be corrected. and a moderator knows enough about remote starters to claim the poster couldn't be guessing ??? Blind-faith is not a good thing. That's OK. It's your forum...

    Vette mechanics in SW Ohio?

    yep, not much around here other than Voss Chevrolet.

    remote start

    so am I lying here???? Common sense does have a place in trying to help others. Lets just label it as "IMO", or "I think there will be a problem" ... or "will there be a problem with the ....?" I know of no remote starter systems that try to individually power up the PCM, BCM, or any other...

    Catalytic converters removed?

    only if the car is a Subaru. From that text: "This page details some of the more important diagnostic data that may be retrieved from Subaru vehicles via DeltaDash or the Subaru 'Select Monitor'" I thought we were talking about the LS1 C5 setup ??? Hib Haverson's text is strictly dealing...

    remote start

    I asked you to "source" your "facts"... not to just repeat your post all over again. Remote starters (like the ones sold by Bulldog - the ones I am familiar with) simulate the turning of the ignition key... electroncally. By doing it that way, there is no concern over powering up individual...

    Catalytic converters removed?

    since this is quite incorrect; I wonder if there is a way for a forum moderator to edit that post where this claim was made. It'd ba a shame for someone (months from now) to find this tread via a "search" and come away with the wrong info. I gotta agree with that. :yesnod:

    could you please source that info ?

    Gutting Pup Catalytic Converters

    it's a free mod; so how does one determine worth ? I think it's not as much an HP mod as it is a deepening of the exhaust note. And also, you can give AlGore an ulcer by gutting the precats. How much is that worth ????? :lol: But one can only come to the conclusion that the pup cats do...

    Catalytic converters removed?

    and : c. Some of you are fast typists, and had the answer posted before i got everything typed !!!! :) the best thing for all of us here is to label your answers as either: * prove-able fact. * good judgement derived from experience... but not specifically with this exact subject/system...
