Default Head unit with red display???

What decent head units are out there that have red display? My pioneer is about the only head unit I could find with red display and I absolutely hate the thing. Functions like ****. It just looks good. The only head unit I could find right now was the alpine 9855 that you can change the display. But unfortunately, it only changes half of the display and I'm really looking for somethin to match my interior:



Suggestions?

How about the Alpine CDA-9885.

Variable Button Illumination: You can change the lighting color of the buttons on the unit's face-panel. You can choose from the following illumination types.

Type 1: All buttons on unit illuminate blue.
Type 2: Buttons illuminate green and blue.
Type 3: Buttons illuminate red and blue.
Type 4: Buttons illuminate orange and red.
Type 5: All buttons on unit illuminate red.

The one in the first post is the 9855 not the 9885
Go to best buy or ultimate elctronics and they can show you which ones can change colors. I know the 9884, 9885,9886,9887 all have the option for all red buttons. And I think the 9886 can change to orange, or green too.

Guz I think you mean the 9886

I thought it was funny. A smiley might have helped but sometimes people here take things way too seriously.

Where'd you read that? The 9886 can only do blue on the buttons, and the screen does blue and white...thats it. I have one in my car, it's an AWESOME head unit, but it doesn't change colors. The 9887 can change.

Chattanooga, making stupid insults to a moderator is not a good way to make friends.
