Looking for matching headunit

Matt,
In my 87 5KT, the newer style DIN E faced units slide right in.  The car
audio dealer sold me a install kit, but I returned it, because it was
not needed, and looked like it wouldn't fit anyway.
I have a MP3 player in mine which plays cdr and cdrw's along with
regular cd's.
On my car, the rear mount for the stereo (for stabilizing) lined up with
the hole for the OEM mount in the dash.  I just needed to put in a
longer stud so it would reach.
I also hooked up the switched power supply to the relay for the power
windows.  This allows the stereo to remain on after the key is turned
off.  It works for about 30 seconds, but that is another issue that I
have to bring up, but in another posting.
It is abit tight behind there to work.
In regards to the illumination, I believe that Sony may offer it in red.

In my opinion, the MP3 is the way to go.  On one cd, I was able to
travel for 10+ hours and not hear the same song twice (unless I wanted
to)

Subject: Looking for matching headunit


I bought my 4kq without a stereo headunit of any sort (apparently it was
stolen), but the speakers are still in place and (I assume) functional.
So I'm looking for something to fill the void in the dash.

My major criterion:

- Black plastic/red lighting that at least somewhat matches the rest of
the dash.

The "it'd be nice" category:

- CD player (CD-RW player preferred)

Anyone have any suggestions?  What do you have in your car?  I've looked
around for older Blaupunkts and Deltas but haven't been able to find
anything so far.

Also, how does this thing mount in the dash?  I don't see any brackets
or anything.  Is there a box or a tray?

Thanks again, all.

Matt
