 Will this work? - Click Here -

They come with control panel replacing RT completely (I found 3 different looking panel-options). Nice concept. Display correct size for C6? They are available with black face color.

What I have learned from sellers/youtube:
- plug and play fit
- steering wheel/stalk control should work
- control AC and car parameters should work

Dont know if any problems with cars with OEM-amplifier (almost all C6?) - the solution is to lower the speaker output to line-level-output by setting on main unit. Edit: on youtube-video there is setting for AMP on/off.

One example in grey:

 I tried to order one through local dealer, and they said it could not be used in C6. The information in the link is telling us that "JBL" sound system and "automatic lights" are not compatible. But it would be nice to have a modern replacement.....

 Maybe many versions on market? On that video you see amp onf/off setting. Other option maybe just 7" device and replace only display. But in C6 we need good looking headunit like RTx on lower part anyway. Maybe buy 7" (more recent model with android 12+ and canbus + control panel different brand. I think all come from same source and will be good or bad luck with this chinese junk. But RT4 quality not so good too so its italian junk

 I brought a wireless android auto, standalone screen, with rear view camera. works like a dream, albeit looks clumsy and does interfere with the design. But suits me perfectly.

makes me regret changing the RT3 to RT4 system now

 The same idea occurred to me.

Saying it's not compatible is probably just trying to cover themselves -- a lot of the C6 is identical to the 407; the obvious difference is the suspension so I'd expect to lose the suspension up/down graphics. Otherwise, I can't see why it wouldn't work.
