Head Unit Hey guys,
I think its time for me to switch my head unti in my TA. Does anyone know of a good head unit to fit nicely in the TA and still use the steering wheel controls. It must be red illumination to match the factory illumination at night. I looked at the sony with red illumination but its kind of thin. Any others out there ?
thanks much

You camaro guys are pretty lucky. You have the pioneer deh-77 to match your factory lighting.

Re: Head Unit Ok, I did some research and it happens to be be the CDA series (Alpine CDA-857). Does anyone have pictures of this unit during the day and night time so I can hopefully compare the factory illuminations.
Thanks Guys
