I recently upgraded the old aftermarket head end on my 85 5ks to a Blaupunkt
Toronto.  This unit integrates well with the interior of the car and matches
the red illumination from the instrument cluster and climate control.  It
sounds great providing 35 x 4 watts to the speakers.  Got it from
Crutchfield for $299 and shipping.  I have had no problems with it so far.
One nifty feature that this head unit has is that it uses a keycard as a
security measure.  When I leave my car, I just pop the keycard out and put
it in my wallet.  It is better than lugging around a bulky faceplate.

HTH.
