Old Fart Looking for Boring Black CD/MP3 Head Unit!
OK, I'm over 40. THere I said it...
I'm driving a 1999 Toyota Sienna Van (yeah I know.. But I can hall more crap around than you can!) and I just want a decent quality replacement for my factory double din unit that's starting to act up... Single DIN is fine. I need CD and MP3 AND I need an AUX in for my new iRiver HD MP3 Jukebox. Budget is $250-$350. No offense to you young hip/hop types and metal heads, but I like my head units to be black and unobtrusive, not billboards with neon colors and silver face plates... I entered my specs at Sounddomain and all the units / brands they displayed seem to have this kind of "look". Can anyone direct me to a decent head unit that has the CD/MP3 and AUX-IN that may be a bit more understated for us old farts? Thanks! bradesp |

Get a Kenwood KD-SH99. It's got all you want. I sometimes plug my iPod
into the front AUX input. When you get it home, carefully disassemble the removable faceplate. It has a fascia panel that can be removed. Paint it flat black, then reassemble. What you end up with is a few tiny silver buttons sticking through the front of a black faceplate. I can send you photos of mine if you want. Dave "Masterson" wrote in message ...

You have a JVC, not a Kenwood.

Yes, it's a JVC (sorry for the mixup). But it WAS silver until I
painted it. The point was it offered everything I was looking for, but it was silver. However the fascia can be removed and painted.

That's odd. Every KD-SH99 I've ever seen was silver. In fact, so was my
old KD-SH77. Paul Vina "hurricane51" wrote in message om... Yes, it's a JVC (sorry for the mixup). But it WAS silver until I painted it.

Yes, that's why I said you could paint the fascia black.
