Just in case anyone else needs an upgrade... I wanted a radio/ player that had an input for my Ipod. I spent a lot of time trying to find one that sounded good ( or better than the OE) and also looked like it belongs in the console.
I ended up buying a Clarion. They have a couple of models listed for marine installs, but they have a perfect match silver face and the sound is as good if not better than the OE.
Like this one..
Amazon.com: Clarion M475 Marine CD receiver: Electronics

I did have to paint the little plastic frame that came with it, but other than that it is a great replacement.
