Head units that match factory lighting?

[SuperSleeper]

So I have a obsessive compulsive disorder of having everything color-coordinated. I'd like to find a deck that has amber lights to match the 1G interior lights. Anyone know of any--anything that has amber illumination? The only one I can seem to find is a RioCar Linux-based MP3 harddrive, and that's just overkill. Pretty badass though:

I have an Alpine 7894 that has buttons that can glow amber or green (switchable). The amber matches the factory guage cluster very well. I bought the unit 2 years ago so you might have to try ebay. Darn good unit though. Got everything you could need on it.

Can it decode MP3s? That's the main reason I don't want to just stick to a stock unit.

Yep it was alpines 2nd most expensive unit when I bought it. Reads Mp3's, cd-r/rw, XM ready, 60x4 power and everything. Really nice piece. I think you can buy them on ebay for less than 200 or so. I paid almost 500 for it new.

I have an old PRE-Xplod Sony Mobile ES CDX-C860 which the backlighting matches the gauge color Perfectly..

or you can change the rest of your lights to match your stereo! lots of work but worth it in the end.

i have this same problem. i am going to check for that alpine radio haha thanks

 

[BlackbirdOfPrey]

Thats kinda funny though, I bought mine so it would match the greenish color of my boost guage, and the new guage cluster that I am going to buy. You want it for the orange, I bought it for green.

Haha, that is strange. Got GReddy?

I have an old school type Pioneer Deck that is all Amber and matches pretty damn good with my dash lights. Not sure on the model number. Here is a picture.

That's what i did. Not the easiest way but atleast i got rid of the orange.

the alpine 9831, 9832, 9833, and above have a 512 color user selectable setup that allows you to match your dash colors perfectly.

I have a 9831 for the talon of doom, though i haven't installed it yet. I'm having a lot of fun doing the install of the speakers & wires. oy.
