Default Just to let you know

Well this morning I tried to swap my single air unit in my c-5 to a duel unit,It was quite easy to tear down the center console,basically 4 nuts and 4 screws.It took about 20 mins. to do.

When I finally got to the air head unit and pulled it out,only 2 screws,The two head units had totally different plug in set up,O well was worth a shot,I did get to see how hard it would be to change the radio,GM sure did'nt leave alot of wire in the back to pull out the radio,the radio is HUGE,If I take that out I beat I would get atleast a 10th of a second off in the quarter mile time

...same thing for the radio in the C4. Wires and antenna lead just long enough to fit into the back with the radio in place. PITA to get them fitted in while putting the radio back into place.
