Let's see your A/V radio!!

Hi all
I'm looking to buy next month an A/V radio DVD player (i don't care if it has GPS on it or not) and I'm looking for one that lights up blue at night since my tachometer gauge has a blue bulb that came with the gauge from black cat custom, as well as the autometer C2 gauges, and I would like to match it with the radio when it's dark. Anyone has a radio A/V device like that to show me? Possibly I would love a touch screen device. Thank you.
Christian

You can haz brand new for not that much. Found mine on sale for $400 brand new close to a year ago. $400 might be regular retail on something like this now.

Pretty much any Pioneer double din has adjustable backlighting. Just pick one you want.

I have a Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD and I LOVE it!!! If youc an afford it, go with it! No amp and the sound is soooooo clear!!! Still stock speakers! Can't wait next summer when I change my speakers and add an amp! Just does not have bluetooth built-in, but you can add it for 100$ (Ebay).

I bought the AVH-P3300BT, added tweeters on my dash, and a rear view camera.

I absolutely love it, and I now do not know what I would do if I ever lost BT and the rear camera in my car.

I just finished up painting the interior trim pieces, I'll get some photos of it up tomorrow.

And here is the end result:

AVH-P3300BT with MotionX GPS for iPhone 4:




Rear backup camera:



I used PlastiDip to paint my dash trim pieces, as it's literally the closest black I could find to the HVAC controls and Double-Din kit I bought.

I think it looks awesome ...

I've got the clarion vx401 with bluetooth that works flawlessly and controls the mp3 portion of my droid bionic and will even do iphones changing of songs right threw the screen. It retails for around 600 i belive but usually you can get then cheaper then that. And everything lights up Blue!!!
