i kno im a cheap bastard.....which cd player should i get??
im a cheap bastard, theres no need to tell me that, i dont really NEED a car stereo, but a silver pioneer stereo does not suit the sophisticated black interior. ive been to every shop around me and they sell crap, so ebay is the only way to go....i need opinions on these stereos

i bought a blaupunkt bahamas a few months ago and im very happy with it. you can change the display to any color you want and mine matches up perfectly. it looks stock too and the way the LCD display is, it looks almost OEM. ill have to take a few pics at night to demonstrate. I paid $132 from crutchfield so i cant complain.

Black with orange!!!!
Totally agree. No silver, no flashing crap. Just balck with orange. Clarion used to have a DZX 535, 735 and 835 model that was just that. You could probably find a good used one on the 'Bay. Also, there is a new Panasonic that Bavarian Sound Works has. Probably available elsewhere.

X2 on the Blaupunkt!! I just saw the pics on the BSW website. Price is great too!
ok i just bought the clarion, i think its black...maybe grey....and 50% is orange backlighting so its better than silver housing + white backlighting....gah

I've just fitted one of these:
BT2500
And the matte black of the unit blends in well with the dash. Yeah it's blue *shudder* but you can put it in low illumination mode.
The mobile phone handsfree and streaming MP3 functions totally kick ass.
Only clocked in at £120 as well, though the lack of line level outs was irritating. Had to get an adaptor to drop to RCA outs.
