good looking din 1/2?

where can one get a good din 1/2 with all the sattelite and cd goodies?
gotta be black to match interior and a couple of 5 volt outputs would be nice.

Has anyone used a single din receiver and a 1/2 din power amp/EQ recently?

thx

jeff

I did the same thing. All the 1.5 Din recivers look unappealing that I found. If you have a firebird, they are not CD player friendly in the first place. Only with some modification was I able to make a flush install with my Eclipse CD deck. Using a car kit required a 1.5 inch exstention due to the lack of depth.

Mine has a kit which has a pocket for the unused 1/2 DIN spot.

Hey man, what deck is that? It would match my 80's-tastic digital dash well!

It's a Panasonic CQ-HR1003U touch screen (ghost face as it was marketed) from about 3 years ago. BTW, the display can be changed to 7 (?) different colors. And it does match my digital dash

Here's a site that says they have it, though I know it's been discontinued by Panasonic for a couple of years now. Alot less than I paid for it at my Panasonic employee store. Give it a try if you like.
