But without the flashing light shows and computer generated animations. I just need a clean looking deck that has the capability of hooking up a bunck of stuff to it (sub, amp, new speakers if I get the money). I would prefer getting one in all black but a little red would not hurt ( would match my interior). Anyone have any suggestions or am I stuck having to buy one that will eventually give me a headache***? |  |  | | 11-07-2007, 03:09 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |
I have the JVC KD-PDR30, it's black and silver with red backlit buttons and a white display  | | | | | 11-07-2007, 08:07 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Calgary/Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Posts: 379 |
Thats not bad but I'm not a huge fan of the chrome/silver parts all over it. I like how its got the red backlit text though. The best looking one I've ever seen was just a flat black front with no buttons. I think it was made by sony. The only reason I did not purchase one was because they apparently have a terrible remote system that come with it. If it was a touch display it would have been amazing. Anything others you can think of? | | | | | 11-07-2007, 09:04 PM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Calgary/Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Posts: 379 |
Wow, I just looked at every electronics store website I can think of (Future Shop, Best Buy, Vision, A&B...) and now I feel like throwing up. I swear, every deck is just plastered with lights and tons of tiny buttons and chrome parts. I think I am just going to try and find one that has a good button layout and maybee try and take the face off and paint it or something. Sorry for the sudden topic change but has anyone tried this? Success? | | | | | 11-07-2007, 09:36 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 |
i think as long as you be very carful and mask parts off very precise t should work fine. get rid of that ugly chrome! | | | | | 11-07-2007, 09:39 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 |
i have this head unit that came out of my ti just 2 days ago. it looked extremely clean in there and it seemed like a stock deck. it has a output rca connection and all the connections to run an amp and the speakers  i wasnt like super programmable and didnt have the connection for my ipod or the mp3 cd capability so i swapped it for my nicer but flashy deck | | | | | 11-07-2007, 11:31 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 |
