I am thinking about adding an aftermarket cd headunit.

Anyone know of a good headunit that has an amber display (to match the dash), black removable face plate and plays mp3's?

The nakamichi cd-400 is great, but does it play mp3's?

thanks.

nakamich cd 400 is a great headunit, but no play mp3's...... has audio-in though so you can use a nomad or iPod for mp3's.... Alpine cda9811 play mp3's and retails for $330.... only has green illumination though, nakamichi has green/amber selectable..... or you can get a used porsche cdr 220 or 210 cd player ..... they're plug and play for the BOSE audio and match the OEM color.....

It has a Variable Color Display:

The display backlight and button illumination can be adjusted to any of 728 colors. The following color presets are stored in memory: Indigo Blue, Surf Blue, Silky White, Aqua Green, Fresh Green, Leaf Green, Moon Yellow, Warm Amber, Pale Orange, Passion Red, Vivid Pink, and Dark Violet.
