Rocket Man's 2008 Bagged CC Silverado Build AKA "THE MACHINE"

[Rocket Man]

I swear I saw someone had a custom message flash across the DIC screen at startup. May have been a C5 or C6 Corvette or something. The image in my head is foggy, but the teal green text and gauge layout was definitely GM.


Having a custom splash screen on the HU would suffice nicely! I remember back in '02-ish, I bought a then top-of-the-line single DIN Pioneer Premier that could do custom screens. You had to download a program to your computer from Pioneer's site, open and edit the pics including setting the scrolling style, burn the images to a CD, put the CD in the HU and go into a special menu to copy them from the CD to the HU's memory. It was a background feature with half-decent color scale that would scroll through the images like a sideshow, similar to "the dolphin" HUs that came out later

The Pioneer in The Beast lets you download from a flash drive connected to the USB port, I think this one does too. I should be able to do something.

Love blasting this one on the shop's stereo. Great for tuning, at least for my ears.

You've heard it and just didn't know. Pop some 'shrooms, click Steve's link and we'll see you tomorrow.

I never even made the connection until you posted this and I have always been a Floyd fan. They were huge when I was in HS.

I had a 4’ x 6’ “The Wall” poster in my college dorm room. Looked awesome under a black light.

So... the console. The freight from Canada was a bit much so I decided to cancel. Plus the fact that it had the rear entertainment package which would have to have been deleted and a pocket found to replace it. I found another at LKQ in Cali and it’s coming UPS. Total was about $100 cheaper altogether. It looks exactly like this one.

Got the center trim today and installed it with the Panavise phone mount. Now I need a super short lightning cable. And the scratches in the other trim aren’t too noticeable at all. It’s coming along.

More info/pics on how you mounted the phone please... I wasn't able to get mine installed today... maybe tomorrow

And a pic of what you ended up with on the dash mount -- without the phone. Please.

Here it is without the phone or bezel. I just use a magnetic mount so I ordered an AMP base for mine because the Panavise uses that pattern. It did stick out past the edge of the mount though so I trimmed about 1/4” off.

I mounted the new blue mini rocker switch for the demon eyes in the cubby next to the TC switch. I’ll install it tomorrow. I had to cut a hole in the roof of the thing in order to get the switch in because it was too tall to slide in.
