Hi Chaps

Just wanted to pick peoples brains on what radio looks decent in an early square dash (black dashboard)..... mine came fitted with a modern Pioneer CD player that I think looks awful, the display is the wrong colour for the dash backlighting, is too bright at night with no way to dim the display, and so I am wondering about finding something more appropriate.

Does anyone have any idea on reasonable looking retro units, preferably with a CD player as my tape collection expired a while back !

Interested to hear your suggestions.....

Cheers

Id buy a Becker. Theyre excellent quality and very steady looking. Theyre frequently available cheaply used, sold by people who dont realise how high quality a unit they actually are, and replaced with a shiny-shiny...

I have a Becker satellite navigation headunit which I think I will install in my car. You can sometimes buy these for not much more than £100, but make sure that you get the aerial, maps CDs and extra harness.

I recently installed a 10 year old Alpine cassette head unit and 6 disc changer (Top of the range when it was new.) Looks the part, adjustable illumination colour and sounds great. Just need to upgrade the speakers now.....[;)]
 
I have a 1993 apline single shot cd to go in my car.Looks totaly period for thre car.I have also looked at nakamichi CD units on ebay as they are very simple looking with minimal buttons and no silly lights. Also very high quality..
