I'm actually going through the EXACT same problem as you. Haha at least it's a good problem to have.

It might help if you posted pictures, or links to pictures of each HU lit up.

I was thinking about that one myself. The only thing I dont like is how it doesnt have front AUX. It supports Sirius though, right?

I like Pioneer.

I have the Pioneer 7800MP and there is a background you can use that has a V8 firing its pretty cool, it shows little explosions at each cylinder, its the ultimate car CD player background

I voted Pioneer as well, I have the DEH-P9800BT and have had various other Pioneer electronics in my vehicles and have never had problems. Whatever HU you decide to get check into getting a HUmount, especially since your trying to match your interior colors with your HU. You can pick the color of the display and the text engraved on the HU kit. PM me if you want more info.

heres a pic, GL....

I'm personally going with the pioneer 580mp. Its actually the only premier deck that pioneer has ever made with red lights. At least for the last 5 or so years that I have seen. The deck will last you too.

I used to have a Sony XPlod that was a dead on match for the red you're looking for.
