Default Blast from the past!!

Just did a full overhaul of the sound system — went all in with a complete set of speakers from Kee Audio (super helpful guy, by the way). I considered switching to a DIN setup, but held off for one key reason: I’m still rocking one of the rare originals… a HUMount. Not many of us left.

That looks nice because the red matches.

I wouldn't change that either. I generally don't like the appearance of aftermarket head units, but in this case (as mentioned above) it looks great because the color matches and, of course, the logo. Looks like it could be stock.

I can't stand the touchscreens even in modern cars, but hate them even more in these cars. What you have right now looks great though.

I held out until my 12 cd disc changer died. Good thing I got a touch screen when I did because finding one with a cd player is getting harder.
