What's your tune?

Hi guys,

I'm looking around for a fairly stock looking head unit for a Mk4 but I want RCA outputs on it. Can people post up some pics of their centre console to give me some ideas...

I'm not a big fan of all the flashing lights and I quite like the stock look just want some more oomf!

Cheers,
99.

Alot of aftermarket headunits intentionally look un-stock. Perhaps if you want something less flashy, pick up a second hand old headunit??

Look at some Blaupunkt decks they makes a number of factory looking units with plenty of features!

I had a clarion head with stacker when I bought the car,was GREEN,,didnt match the colours of car!!.
so I found at JB on sale a sony cdx - m8800 ,flip down cd head unit.black when closed,but blue lights when open.. looks very stockish...:). im not big on ICE.

Im looking for a stock looking deck for my mates BMW 5 series, and the most stock looking ones out there tend to be blaupunkt. But the new ones are a little more flashy than the old ones.

Enough of the drug referances.n:

Blaupunkt still do a lot of very plain units. they good thing is many of them will also work with your factory steering wheel controls if you have them!

how was that a drug related post?:? ICE = In Car Entertainment
as far as I am aware,ICE is a European and USA term, used to describe in car entertainment.when I was 18,late 80's it wasnt called ICE,it was called your" deck".the slang term for amphetamines is "ice" and that is a aussie term.I was not referring to this.

Clarion headunit. I love it cos it was very affordable, looks damn good, retains a stock look, RCA outputs for amps later on (currently have an AUX plug hooked up to it so I can plug in my Creative MP3 player) and USB too.

It's a black head-unit; the lights are white with dark blue backgrounds - my dash is navy blue in colour so this suits it well. I'm thinking of refitting my dash lights to white LED's so it'll all match. They're currently the dull green :P

Cool - thanks for the feedback guys. I might go the full hog and just get get a touch screen that supports sat nav...

Kenwood DDX-6039 (i think) or KVT-747dvd can be had for a good price with bluetooth and sat nav.

Hmmm - I really like the Kenwood DDX-6039. I might have to wait and save my penny's for that one.
