    AUX Input on Stock Radio

    I've used the GM10-AUX successfully. I have a MP3 w/hard drive if you're interested... with everything needed for the C5: my add-on MP3 player; complete... nothing else to buy. - Corvette Forum

    C6 rims work on C5 ????

    C6 rear rims are a different offset. It's not a lot of difference though ... about 1/2" when measuring to the outside edge (rim lip). Mechanically, they almost always fit fine on a C5 without any rubbing. But cosmetically they can make the rears look too far inward.. when compared to the stock...

    C5 CD Changer Problem

    I don't have pinouts, but colors: dark green/white = right channel audio brown/white = left black/white = common bare wires are grounds as well.

    C5 CD Changer Problem

    no. that's been done by many; I've read that this works well. Some even went the route of installing a relay so that both the CD changer and the "other" device could be used (one at a time... obviously). They mounted a toggle switch somewhere up-front.

    C5 CD Changer Problem

    The factory CD changer has ZERO read-ahead buffering; so it will skip rather easliy. One of the electrical lines going between the CD changer and headunit is a serial data line. It's over this wire that the operational commands are sent (skip track, next song), and the CD changer also...

    Question about 2000 exhaust..

    you need to link up with the right buyer an the right time. I upgraded my 2002 with the Z06 TI; then put my standard catback on eBay. Luckily - just at that same time - a guy in Texas had a 1999 and was looking for a factory cat-back; but with the chrome tips. I got $180 out of mine.

    Stupid Question

    Since when does "octane" have any effect on injectors ??? Cheap gas may have this bad effect; but then cheap "93" octane gas would also. where in the warranty does it state anything about the octane rating of the fuel ? Someone already had quoted directly friom the owners manual... stating...

    C5 Noise Reduction

    they are similar, but I believe the precut kit material has foil on both sides. You use a can of spray adhesive to install it. I've heard everything good about this setup. Frost King has adhesive already on the foam side. Dynamat would be better; it's more dense. But that comes with a...

    DIY Heat and Sound Reduction Mod

    although the person that discovered this mod says that there is no concern with the insulation getting wet; I and many others "played it safe" and placed the pink home insulation in plastic garbage -type- bags before installation.

    DIY Heat and Sound Reduction Mod

    yep; tire ROAR is tough to dampen. It seeps in everywhere; ya can't insulate the windshield or side windows !!! FK and even the more dense materials (Dynamat Xtreme, D'amplifier Pro, ...) can't do much against tire roar. They do help with just about all other noises; but Goodyear tire roar...

    Why waste $$$ to make your car louder?

    "because...thank god... I'm not like you." that should take care of it :)

    '98 C5 automatic gear ratio change????

    their is no mechanical problems installing 3.42, 3.73, 3.09, or 4.10's in an A4 C5. The deciding factor in choosing is... for you to determine where (how far) you want the mod to take you. Personally, 3.42's took me exactly where I wanted to be. For you, your end goal may be different.
