Some pics have the blue lights on, some the red (the unit lets you switch between both). The only drawback here -- aside from the lack of a green option -- is that the red lights are marred by the center dial staying blue all the time. Otherwise, the red looks great with the dash at night, matches the red on the instrument needles and the red of the four-way button on the console.
All in all, the unit is just about a perfect match for the silver console. The best iPod car stereo out there, too. Interface is perfect, almost an exact replica of the iPod's own interface.
Toddy, that looks excellent!
1.) So is the unit silver, and the surround white? And if so (maybe it's just my eyes) does it seem as though the surround could be easily painted silver to match?
2.) What is the security for that unit? Does the faceplate come off, or do you type in a code, or what?
Great install!
