Thanks for the advice guys. I checked out your model TimC and it looks like a good bet. Not a bad price either!

Mine..... Panasonic cq 7301 Display can be set to any colour you like, you can also download a photo from disk on to the HU display, using some nifty Panasonic software you can add some lettering etc I have also added a Dension Ipod adaptor which plugs in to the HU CD changer port. Adaptor and Ipod holder cost me £120 tho Complete system looks a bit like this..... Here Steve

I was looking for a model that colour matched to orange illumination, looked good, sounded great, did MP3s.
Gave up on getting the full lot eventually and went for the Clarion DXZ768RMP (£240). Does all above (IMO) except display is grey-scale, (buttons can be variably adjusted and perfectly match orange illumination). I thought it was best compromise.
Sound is very good with standard speakers.
I did a long post of what I looked at and why I chose it in the "recommend me a head unit" thread.
Never saw the Panasonic mentioned above, and might have been tempted.
Hope this helps

Not seen a standard interior with lights on but my plus is defo more red than orange. I went for this Alpine unit with which you can change from red to blue (click the demo button through above link). Excellent integration with iPod as well which I've routed into the glovebox.

i got this one: http://www.blaupunkt.com/uk/7646080310_main.aspand like strke4a thought that red was a better match for the illumination, and looks and sounds very good in my opinion... and its a bit different to the raft of clarions and pioneers. shaun.

Quick bit of off topicness.. sorry I have an alpine unit that I'm meant to be able to change the colour on but I've never had any luck despite RTFM'ing several times On my old Alpine 7873R, you had to hold the set-up key for a few seconds to access the set up mode. Press the set up button repeatedly until 'BACKLIGHT' (i think) appears. Then switch between the colours using the << >> keys.

I do like the look fo the Blaupunkt a little bit different from the normal Blaupunkt Also like the Clarion Clarion iPod intergration is something I would like, but I would like steering wheel control anyone got his? not attached to the steering wheel though attached to the steering column On the whole I like the looks of the two above, don't want anything Silver etc that will not go with the interior. Though the Blaupunkt would go well with some alloy rings for the dials

I've got a JVC kd-lhx551 touchscreen stereo as seen here (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/jvc-touchscreen-in-car-cd-player_W0QQitemZ130096992480QQcategoryZ39759QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
You can basically change the display to match the interior. I've hooked it up to 10 speakers and the sound quality is amazing. Recommend highly.
