I have some flashy unit right now that contrasts with the car horribly. I'm looking for somehting that looks more oem and flows with the car.

Which Cd player best compliments the interior?

older alpines fit very nicely. I have a cda-7876 in there right now that sounds top notch, and looks great. you can also change the colors on the alpine from green to amber so the color is spot on.
here is a pic of it in ben law's 330ti
I like the deck so much I bought a cda-7894 for my toyota 4runner (current model)

My car had a premier(Pioneer?) headunit which would be too bling in anything but an Olds. It performs very well but clashes terribly with the dash in daylight, let alone at night.
I have an Old Alpine.
How do you change the colour to match? Is the procedure DIY?

Nakamichi colors are dead on, I have a Pioneer that is dead on. You usually have to get a high end no frills head unit, or a lower model no frills unit. All of the other units try to cram so much junk in there they have to have insane LCD displays.

nice unit! clarion has looked pretty crappy fro the last few years (astheticly) but that deck looks really nice! panasonic is very similar in the brushed metal look

That's one of the things I am critical of in my E30's. In my M3 I have an old top of the line Kenwood Pull out 930 and digital EQ from the late 80's/early 90's. Illuminates amber and green. Matches the era of the M3 and interior perfectly.

I have an Alpine CDA-7876 in my cabrio, and purchased it because it had switchable illumination. It is a really nice unit, but the problem is that the center display is always blue. When I picked up the M3 I had a Nakamichi unit installed, which I am really happy with. I prefer a good no-frills system over something that has a ton of features, 95% of which I will never use...
Here is a (blurry) pic of the Alpine:
Thanks!
