- 2019 CORVETTE TECHNOLOGY IN MY 2001 C5 CORVETTE!?
Adding the infotainment technology equivalent of the 2019 Corvette into my 2001 C5 Corvette makes all the difference in the driving experience!
The C5 Corvette radio, or should I say the same radio as every other Chevrolet vehicle produced at that time, SUCKS. While the Corvette has features to rival even some vehicle models today, the radio was outdated and lacks any features of a car made in the past 5 years. Also, I myself LOVE music, and while the sound of a screaming V8 is always enough to put a tingle in my undies, I love a good drive with some of my favorite tunes. NOT Lady Gaga of course***
Today we install the Pioneer MVH1400NEX double-din touch screen multimedia system. This head unit has awesome modern features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and much more. This COMPLETELY transforms the interior as well as driving experience of the Corvette and helps update the platform that is the C5.

In order to give the new double din center console a factory OEM appearance, it had to be painted using the utmost quality paint. That's where Color Bond came in and hooked me up with their LVP Refinisher in OEM spec Chevy Jet Black.

To prepare the surface of the center console, I used their prep cleaner and adhesion promoter to make sure the painting surface was in tip-top shape.

Now i’m ready to get started. All I need is a c5, the tools, and the replacement stereo😃
😂😂
Same 🌚💀
You all probably dont give a damn but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Bradley Heath Instablaster :)
@Angelo Augustus i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
To anyone doing this install who is concerned about the wiring.. I did this today, and it was extremely easy. Using the axxess harness, just take the two red wires from the harness and wire them to the red wire on the pioneer harness. Everything else is color coded exactly right. I also just attached to the parking brake wire (lime green) to ground to override it.
I like your can-do attitude. Just going ahead and trying things without prior experience like soldering etc. And then going and learning how to fix it on your own if it doesn't work. Not enough of this kind of self sufficiency anymore. Good stuff!
Thanks I appreciate that! I got it from my father! Thanks for watching!
@@DriveHub what’s the link on where you bought the new center console for your double din ? Why didn’t you use the original also ?
@@josecollazos6 I don't know if he used the same one buy this is the one I used in mine. www.amazon.com/Metra-DP-3021B-1997-2004-Chevrolet-Corvette/dp/B0716M5DMV
I always purchased my aftermarket electronics through Crutchfield. The on line/telephone techs were incredibly knowledgable, and assisted me through the entire process. Glad it worked out for you!
good to hear. i peruse their site from time to time and wondered about their company.
LOVE Crutchfield.
I've purchased from Crutchfield before, too. Always good people to deal with. I just ordered a Sony Android Auto head unit for my C5. They now have a wiring service and for $25, I'm not going to deal with the brain damage for that little. They always know exactly what you need based on your vehicle.
THANK YOU!!!! I've been searching for this exact information on the Corvette forum but you just explained it better than I've found so far.
Good job on this video. It didn't go as planned, but you figured it out and shared valuable info for others. Thanks for sharing.
2nd upgrade I did to my car was the head unit (Kenwood). Didn't have the wire issue that you had. I had to fiddle with my unit to get it to not look crooked in the dash. I ran a double usb port extension to the lighter in the console. After it was done, I ran it that way for about 3 weeks before I added 2 amps, a sub and changed out the front and rear speakers. Now I REALLY like the way it sounds other than you don't really get a "front stage" feeling from the door speakers. Keep up the good content!
Man. Ive been working on cars for years. But I steer away from the electrical system. All of them wires looks like spaghetti to me 😄. Glad it all worked out for you. ✌🏾💯
Awesome video! Honestly, probably the best on TH-cam right now.
I did my C5 3 years ago. I used a Kenwood double din. I took everything apart, sent my center console piece out to a company that converted it to Double Din. That process took longer than expected, so by the time I got that back, we were moving to a new home and half the garage was packed up. This caused me to need to get someone to complete the install, so I didn't do the re-install. So watching your video now makes me appreciate the extra dollars it cost me to have a pro do it. You validated what I expected having never done my own radio installation....that it was NOT fun. :) Looks great! Thanks for posting!
Just wanted to say it looks awesome, thanks for taking the time to show the in depth process. I have a C5 and plan on just adding a sub for now with a different interface of course. Your video shows me what to plan for if I eventually change my head unit. Again, awesome job man.
Looks very flush I like it, besides... Thank you for showing us the installation process... A lot of people skip all their weak points. I'm kinda debating about purchasing a C5 for a daily, not long moved here from the UK... well, 2nd week! found a C5 for only $13k and it's manual as well with 78k miles. Worth it?
I did the same mod on my C5 in 2019. Was a real challenge to say the least. Unfortunately, I didn't have a kit to line up the DDIN or the HVAC. Wish I did 'cause that was FUN...lol! Fortunately though I had no issues with the wiring in the harness, but I did replace all the speakers and installed an amp. This was the first time I had ever taken on such a challenge and was very thankful for on-line forum support. Good on ya for giving it a go.
After all the frustration, it's worth it in the end. Especially if you have a convertible like I do. Now I can actually hear the music! Unlike before with the stock unit. Great Vid!!
I have a touchscreen in my 2002 C5, it really makes the car look more modern inside and the HD backup camera does as well. I also like to Bluetooth my Pandora and the hands-free phone.
Great Video. Excellent explanations in trouble shooting. I used NEX AVIC-6100NEX Pioneer in my
C6 5yrs ago. The GPS is awesome and is as accurate. Its just as accurate as my phone using google maps still to this day. It has real time satellite updated info traffic alerts and so forth and u can set it up to alert for red light cameras, and many more features great units.
Excellent video. The only thing missing was your thoughts on how the new head unit sounds over the stock unit with the factory Bose system / speakers.
I had difficulty with mine as well. I had it done by a shop and had to carry it back 3 times till it got right so dont beat yourself up. C5 is just a beast of electronic wonders
My compliments to you. You have helped a lot of us who will be putting in the Pioneer unit.....thanks
I'm driving a 2001 Corvette, The Radio and speakers are just fine. 99% percent of the time I just want to hear the car.
Good job, I like your attitude. Do not feel sorry for anything cos this is real life fixing and what a nice outcome. THANKS.
Currently installing mine. I paint matched my bezel with my light pewter metallic exterior paint.
I love how you start with the drill bit then finish with the saw,the cutscene made it better 🤣
Just got a carbon fiber double din center console from tee-moo for 35 smackers lol. Thanks for the video 4 years ago lol.
Great videos!! 🙌🏾 I’ve been checking them out even before I recently bought a C5 Vette. Helps out a lot!! hopefully I’ll find a good camera set up soon to post project update videos on here.. if u got any tips I’d greatly appreciate it!!
1:31 - I always get happy when I see a box like that.
it was so nice to see you suffer the same way i did when installing my double din in my c5 3 months ago
I hope that's an old profile pic
Lord DinkleSnap nah
Nice - thanks for the video and for toughing it out and documenting. I want to do this with my wife's 99 coupe - hoping that the new unit will allow for aux use of our factory cd changer....
Great Video. One of the best of have seen yet on the Double Din Receiver install yet on a C5. I am real close to installing my Kenwood set up in my '99 C5. I ended up buying the new Dash piece last Summer but it was to humid and hot out to install it at my old age and I never got a chance to do it in the fall. Was hoping to get to it before it got real hot again here in the North East. My dash piece is still sitting in the box. I am going to have to take another look at it now bringing it into the car to compare it to the original. I only opened the box when it came to make sure there was no damage. I purchased a Metra at the time but saw recently that someone has them (another brand) even cheaper now a year later but under a different name. I almost went for the real expensive dash replacement that retains the flip up door for the cup holder and ash tray but I could not see spending double of what the Metra sold for. I remember when I purchased my Metra DP3021B many said they installed it as is that the finish was great on it. Well at least I got to see here that I have another option if I don't like the match up as is. I had purchased the same Axxess XSVI-2004 Amplifier Interface Harness last July 2019 being it was recommended on the Corvette Forum. I was told there it was suppose to be plug and play. No need to seek out a accessory wire. They said if I was to buy the PAC Interface set up for the C5 that one required you to find a accessory wire. Now you have me wondering here before I even start my project. One question to you. I saw you gave up what seemed right away with trying to drill the pop rivets out for the shelfs and went with a Sawzaw instead. That was something I wanted to try and save so that if I ever decided to sell the car the new owner if he wanted to could put it back to factory stock. Hoping those studs were made out of Aluminum that you were drilling into holding the shelfs on. What was the problem you encountered? Again a great video. You did a nice job doing it. It should help out plenty of people thinking about doing it if they have any mechanical ability in them. Some people just rather leave it up to someone else. Oh I should mention here that I purchased a Kenwood DMX7705S for my C5 install with Carplay last year. I installed one in my daughters 2007 Mustang and I also installed the previous version Kenwood DMX7704S in my everyday 2000 Merc Marquis to bring it up to date. Love my Kenwoods. Did you think about installing a back up camera?
Got done with with my install last week. There was no need for you to go for a accessory wire in the passenger footwell using the Access Interface. You should of just connected the red wire from your new radio to the 2 red wires from your Access. My Kenwood Receiver is working fine and the Corvette forum was right about using the Access interface saying it was pretty much plug and play. Just connect your wires according to the manual that comes with the Access to anyone thinking about doing this mod to your C5.
This was literally the perfect video for my install.
I picked up the Colorbond paint and Im getting it installed this weekend but with the PAC0ROEM Vette1 model
I should do this to my metra bezel. Never thought of actually making it match. I put some heated seat buttons in that little void area. Just used some ABS plastic and mounted the switches in there. The only problem is you can't easily use that retaining screw, so mine isn't sticking in as far as I would like. I hate taking off the center console. Putting that gas filler panel connector is such a pain. I wish I had a sawzall when I did mine. I went through several drill bits, you can't drill that out, that's BS. I had to use a manual hack saw. My hand hurt for days.
I've made this upgrade to my '04, love it, also did the backup camera, didn't have to paint mine, it was a perfect match, I still have to do all the external lighting upgrades tho
Hey Tim I have an 04 too and it’s currently torn apart because I have no idea where to connect the wires that are supposed to go under the passenger footwell because apparently all c5s besides the 04s have the yellow orange and black. Any help would be appreciated
@@Gorgonzolaa sweet, I didn't try to do it myself, I took it to a professional car stereo place, much easier that way, lol, upgrading all exterior lights next, that I might tackle myself
The absolute best way to change the color on plastic parts is to place the part in damn near boiling hot water with RIT dye, for about an hour. You can remove it, dry it off and if the color is not quite right put it back in the bath. If it’s white plastic, you can change it to any color you want but if it is a dark color to start, you’ll only darken the original color. Just remember your color combinations… If the plastic is red and you want it blue, you’ll have to go through the stages of purple before you get to blue… Very dark blue. This way you’ll never have to worry about chips or scratched paint. There are plenty of “how-to” videos on YT.
I just bought a 2001 Vette and it had jvc touch screen. Glad it's done and I didn't have to do it.
Great video. Where did you buy the double din console from?
I want to know we’re you got that shift knob. These cars are so hard to buy one for.
Could you again in reply simply explain not what didn't work but what did work for wiring. Thank you. Rich.
This how-to was super detailed!
Love your videos.
Questions. When you painted your new bezel, I noticed that you used a "plastic prep" prior to the adhesive spray. Is this the same as the Color Bond Prep Cleaner or was this something in addition to the steps? Thinking the same product, but the bottles are different. How many coats of adhesion promoter and paint did you use?
After some time now, are you still happy with the results? Thank you.
Where did you get the console
That’s incredible this is the video I was looking for because I want that c5 with the technology!
Good Job! Looks AWESOME! Thumbs up from me... Stay safe... Rico
You like Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones. Great album!
Great job!
Thanks Gary! Lots of work 😅
Where did you get the center console piece used to fit the new radio from?
I have a 1999 C5 Corvette and want to upgrade my Corvette too. But I just noticed that every video of ppl doing this upgrade has a the AC unit that you have, mine is different. I assume it shouldn't be a problem
In the end, did you do it? I had the same question because mine is from 99
Can't go wrong with a pioneer ever!
How did you learn about all of this? It seems quite technical.
I've got an 04 convertible and have the bose system with the rear cd changer. For 65 bucks you can get a wiring harness that allows you to plug your phone into the existing head unit field calls hands free and play music
Discount stereo sells the harness. 04YellowVet has a video on it.
Works great and a lot less hassle.
Except you don't get apple/android auto.
@@stevesnvegas9040
Yeah Steve I agree, this fix is just the cheapest way to upgrade an older vet's sound system so you can stream Spotify, Pandora etc.
I was rocking something like that for years, but when they came out with the bezel I went for it and i'm glad I did. Double DIN is mandatory for a C5. It really makes you like the car more.
Best way to check which wire is an accessory wire and which is constant power is with a multi meter
Hey, brother, I was watching your video here. And I think you should have put a diode in the system so that you wouldn't have feedback. 12 volt power supply
Good job good choice in radio same one I have in my SS TRAILBLAZER
What a nightmare! I'll call ya when I'm at that point 😉😂😂😂 Great video thanks 👍
I wouldn't mind being able to do a mod like that to my old C3. How difficult do you think it would be for somebody that's color bling?
Did the Colorbond paint give it the same texture as factory?
Time for the C8 brotha
Can you tell me the brand of rear tail lights your using maybe an install video ?
im getting ready to solder my c5 axxess interface.. so youre saying to not put the 2 red wires together? man im not so sure now with the orangewhite wire and 2 red wires issuse? lol.. im lost]
Edit: I hooked my c5 z06 aftermarket radio up today.9/12 I didnt pull no wire/s from the kick panel and my radio powered up and worked great. I followed the instructions per Axxess hooking both the red wires up. I do have the dreaded turn key off and the radio shuts off then reloads till i open the door, But that isnt a big deal im not sitting in the car after i turn it off anyway. SO from my experience, we dont need to access the wires in the kick panel. My car is 03 z06 not sure if previous years are diff.
I'm getting this and doing it! You inspired me!
This looked super doable until we got to the wiring part 😂😂 I’m not nearly qualified enough for that
1 wire at a time buddy......used to scare me too......now I grab handfull of wires like Im grabbin my girls ass........with authority.
I like it video very much, not much difference from putting in a 7 in Pioneer touch screen in a 2000 Trans Am. I did this many years ago and I should have made a video about it. But of course you have to modify the dash to get it in. But I did not run into any problems like you had. Next time have a wire tester with you, it might help if you go to do this again or give advice. My 7in Pioneer I hooked up myself and it just like Factory, meaning taking the key out and it keeps running until you open the door. And you can customize the screen, you can connect a flash drive to the harness that comes with the kit and you can play movies songs and also download pictures where you can have as a screensaver just like Factory.
I admire your tenacity...I would like to put the same unit in my C6...but after watching this video I think I will have it done by Best Buy...if they ever open up. Good video as always!
I believe your problem is because you tried to tap into an accessory wire in the car. The accessory wires on the Axxess go to the accessory wire on the radio - not the car. The radio should not have gone to the cars accessory - it should have gone to the Axxess. If you hook it up like this, I believe your RAP (retained accessory power) will function. Simply hooked it up incorrectly.
Hey man have u had any issues with your Bose system after the touchscreen?
Great work fixing your AC head unit!! Isn't it awesome to see the temp!! I suspect that is what you fixed the 1st time you used your soldering iron. Good job!! Thanks for the tips and tricks on the bracket replacement. I have been putting off doing this to my 03 since the stock color was off. Now that I know it can be painted, I will be putting it on my list of upgrades.
Now that it has been some time, how is the head unit working. I'm particularly interested in if you find it clunky, delayed or glitchy when using wireless CarPlay. Also can you let me know if the dimmer feature works very well (as some units are still blinding at night and don't dim very much)? Lastly does the back up camera come on reliably no matter what mode you are in - in the head unit or any issues there? Good sound even with no amp? Thanks ahead of time for your replies.
Good head unit. I put it in my Jetta and then the 1550 in my C4 corvette
Without connecting the illumination wire, doesn't the screen stay really bright at night and not dim like it's supposed to?
So long term...is your Bose system playing nice with this headunit? I have had a 350z with a Sony head unit, a 'Bose' converter (Metra brand I think) and I still have PTSD from that car's Bose sub amp cutting in and out even after I soldered in a new relay. I never want to mess with a factory Bose system again. I'm looking at Bluetooth receivers now 😅
So the sound qualitiy is good using the Bose amp?
Do you have a way I can contact you in regards to some install questions about this unit?
Excellent camera work. Good job!
I'm guessing there's absolutely no way of getting rid of those 90's era Chevy AC controls? I just watched another C5 interior upgrade video and he had the same thing.
I prefer my radio turning off with the ignition, but I run a massive aftermarket sound system and dont want excess drain on my batteries
How did this work out over the last year? How did the paint hold up?
How does it sound with the stock Bose? Do you see any need to upgrade the speakers or add bass?
So sick!
Thanks brotha! I’m absolutely loving it🤙🤙
Nice work
Thanks Ron! It was tough but the final product was well worth it!
Wow. Well done. I dont care a lot for new equipment, except for navigation. Havent decided. I figure its a lot of headaches which is why i havent done anything yet. ???
Don't you have program it in order for the touch screen to work ? And the dealer should have the codes ? Cause i think if you just swap it like that it'll mess up the ecu computer causing the car to not start
my c5 is automatic. the 2 red wires connected to the single red wire on pioneer. orange to orange on pioneer. mounted ground wires to radio mount frame. radio operates correctly, but, the bose woofer speakers are not connected. how did you get the woofers to work?
thanks
Ronnie
Love the video👍🔥
Great video , where did you get the new center console?
Thanks so much for sharing all of the details and including links for the items. I'm about ready to replace my factory radio as well. Do you remember where you got the double din console / bezel from? Appreciate it!
Did the bezel come with the console or was it separate?
Just installed the same kit just with a BOSS BCPA9 and I have no audio, radio turns on and off with the car, everything is soldered, just no sound
Link to double din console
Also, you'd be a pretty good actor in an 80s movie.
how much would it cost to get this done by a mechanic on my c5
Does that head unit have blouetooth and/or at least an aux slot to listen to music from phone?
Yea he says it at the end of the video
amazing! c5 it's my dream car...
can't find anything. but is this compatible with a backup cam?
Best Buy charges like 180 to install, so that is what I am going to do if I decide to go all 2019 on my C5.
Hey just wondering what’s the long term reliability of something like this drive hub? (Or anyone who also has done this center console paint mod) I have a C5Z and I have it right now unpainted and I think it would probably better than if it was painted and then could possibly get scratched off very easily by keys or metal parts just making the console look somewhat cheap with paint scuffs or lines all over it? Can anyone confirm this goes through the test of time or that it keeps it look even after well you know, life happens? That would be greatly appreciated, especially for the greater good of the C5 community 👍
Console looks like it cheapens the Vette somewhat.... perhaps the Vette-nuts version is more close to factory by keeping the two lids intact.
yeah it is better but its not worth an extra $200 just for 2 plastic lids
How would you rate the sound upgrade vs stock?
Awesome video👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
This... This is just what I was looking for!!!!
Really need to do this to my C5, I just don't have the confidence to not screw it up lmao
Take to a car-audio shop then. It should be expensive.
Is it true that the C5 will melt at temperatures of 99+ degrees Fahrenheit?
I must have messed up somewhere because I can't get my bass signal to come through my speakers, I just have Highs and some Mid from them....
