Stereo Search
 

I posted a stereo question on the main Coupe forum (along with some other questions), but I thought I'd repost it here also since this is a more appropriate place.

I'm looking for an aftermarket head unit that meets the following criteria:

1) Silver color that matches the dash.

2) Variable color display, so that I can adjust it to match the factory green color used everywhere else. (A non-adjustable green display that matches would be fine, too, but I figured that was unlikely and lots of manufacturers seem to be using the variable displays.)

3) Available iPod controller.

4) Available XM radio.

I can find the first three with the JVC KD-LHX550 that some else on here has and I really like the looks of that one. But JVC uses Sirius instead of XM, and the particular program my wife and I want to hear is on XM. :mad:

I don't need a NAV system, or the ability to play DVD's or anything like that. I just want to be able to have XM and my iPod without using an FM adapter.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Sony CDX-MP70

I have it and I love it. ipod with the aux in, XM ready, silver color matches the dash and the knob design is just like the stock layout. Just make sure you mount it with a silver bezel. It also has variable colors for the display.

Look at the photo from "gibsonjunkie". He installed a Pioneer DEPH-4800 and it has just what you’re looking for. Check the specs/photos at: crutchfield.com.

That's perfect! It meets all my requirements. XM. iPod. Green Lights. Silver finish.

Thanks!

The Pioneer 4800 does have a green light that matches pretty well. They have an adapter for either sirius or XM and an iPod adapter - they all plug in to the same port and you can control them all from the head unit. I'll be getting the 12 disk changer soon.

Here's the photo again...

I should take one at night to get the lighting effect...
