Amber colored Head Unit

Looking for a head unit that lights up similar in color to my dash lights. Anyone know of a head unit that has a color like that? Thanks.

i garauntee youll love it. has lots and lots of features and sounds great has great quality and has never failed me. many features, lpf, hpf, sub volume, fader, etc etc list goes on and on and you get to save up to 3 custom colors that you make. and you can put titles in for radio displays cd track titles. my friend loved it so much he got one for his car. no he has an alpine and its just not as good its not as adjustable.

im not too sure since i dont own one and havent even thought about it. but im pretty sure you could just plug the input rcas into a radio shack 2racs to headphone jack wire and you can run it off that which you would play by switching mode to aux. or i believe cruthfield makes a clarion ipod adapter for their HUs not sure how well it works but the cheaper way is the first thing i said.

My Pioneer DEH-7800MP has full 16 bit graphics (15k+ colors) and you can even load custom backgrounds via CD. Thing has about a billion features and it's dead sexy, it puts the rest of the car to shame.

Can be had for cheaper, but here's Crutchfields listing:

Vipershark,

I'm very interested in purchasing the clarion for my Trans Am. Could you please post pics of it installed during the day and at night? How closely do the colors match the dash board lights?

Thanks!
Bill

mines not for sale i love it and would never let it go. but go on ebay they should sell for pretty cheap there. ill still post some pics of mine not sure i took them a while back but hope it helps they shouldnt be too much on ebay
maybe 150 AT MOST shipped. the first pic was during the day so the color looks off in the sunlight. second one you can see at night its a bad pic but it works i dont remember if that was when i had it on color scan or my custom orange also the pics dont do it justice

I said I was interested in purchasing the headunit (as in from ebay, best buy, etc), not your headunit! Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for the pics, I can;t make out that night one at all tho =p

Besides ebay, are there any suppliers who have this headunit for a good price?

Thanks again,
Bill

uhh i dunno its a 2005 model so its kinda old. i like ebay my friend bought his off ebay and i think it was brand new never opened work for him everyday. the night one click the pic to enlarge it and on the right you can see the small orangie red screen which actually is orange like the gauges. the thing glowing on the left was my license plate in the door glove box thing from the flash that i tried to block lol.

you could also search on those price finder site some website probably has it cheaper. most things are cheaper online.
