Default From aftermarket stereo to stock stereo?

Ok, something really bugs me about my car which is the aftermarket stereo (Kenwood). It is black in the middle of a nice silver console. I seriously want to put a stock stereo back on there but since I am new to these cars, i dont even know where to start.

1- anybody willing to trade headunits? I can get the exact model / name of mine for you and if mine is cheaper then i would be willing to pay a little cash on top. If mine is more expensive, you get a deal because all i want is stock headunit.

2-how do I know if stock unit would plug right back in? how to tell if the person who installed the headunit, didnt chop some wires, etc.?

This is really bugging me, I want stock headunit, i want that nice full silver look.

thanks!

Here are a couple pics of my stereo(cell phone pics so not the best):

Try to find someone here with a OEM w/NAV, then you can buy one of Rudy's iPod connectors.

You can find the OEM head unit on ebay for around $75 used or $200 new.
The wiring is all spelled out in the repair manual and should be easy to figure out, OEM nav units cost more of course.

Thanks a lot! I do not have Ipod and I do have a similar connector to listen some musics from my cellhone which is like ipod (xpressmusic 5660 Nokia). I just want that silver look on my console, thats it.

I added pics by the way.

add: Ebay only has two and they are not limited, they are basic model stereos

That is a basic model stereo, I would like to have limited model stereo. I found them on ebay for 200 bucks. WoW! I guess I will be keeping my kenwood unless somebody is willing to trade or sell me theirs cheaper.

The only difference between the base and the ltd radio is the silver *****, you could possibly paint the black ***** to match the bezel.

You won't be very happy with the sound of the stock radio though

+1

If I didn't have NAV I would get rid of it.

Worst sounding stereo I have ever heard for a $48000 car.
Or a $10000 car for that matter.

They say they have six, as base models are fewer than limiteds I would assume they have ones with silver *****. Ask if they have a radio with silver *****.

Aren't there two different radios for the Crossfire? The base and and the Infinity? As for sound quality, the infinity is great.
