In the market of buying a new deck but want it to match the interior lighting at best. I know Sony, Kenwood, Alpine, Blaupont, Clarion and Eclipse are some that have the red lighting but want to see some installed if possible. So if you have pics of your settup please post a picture and help me out... thanks

 

Crutchfield has some good shots of various car decks/receivers.

 

any smooth black face will match nice. some recievers can change the color so u can set it to amber/red like the rest of the interior.

 

for units that you can change the color, I would go with alpine. Alpine cda-9855 and cda-9835 can change the colors. They make great decks and are widely known for their sq performance.

 

I was looking into the same thing nitro and I've decided to get either the Alpine CDA-9855 or 9835. I've seen them in person and they match the lighting color great and Alpine makes good quality units.

 

I actually just checked Crutchfield and they list the 9855 as a unit that won't fit the FD. Does anyone know if this is true or not?

 

what size din is it?

 

?????NOT TRUE! i'ts a single din size!Same size as the 9835 I dont see why it would'nt fit?

 

That's exactly what I was thinkin. I am almost positive I saw someone with a 9835 on this site so I don't see why the 9855 wouldn't work.

 

I run a double din Kenwood 7015.



Had to relocate my turbo timer, but i have this deck in my vert as well.

I went to post a pic of my ddx 7015 and then I kept reading the thread and find a pic of mine (actually mine) already poster by drop top.

It felt good to know someone somewhere had a pic of my car saved on their hard drive

back on topic: that deck kicks ***! I have sirius on it now,a nd it has a great menu setup for it, also is completly setup for nav etc.

 

same, i have the NAV and Sirius, where did you mout the ants? I have just installed mine last week into my 3rd gen, but dont know where to put the ants. BTW where did you mount the sirius box and nav box.

 

the 9855 will work, i have the 9853 its the same unit just hte 55 can change color and someother things, but same size, so I KNOW for a fact it will fit in the fd.

 

89 drop, I mounted my sirius on the back of the divider between the trunk and the inside of the car, then the antenna they took inside the interior panels up through in the hatch gutter and right up to the top.

Hope that helps some. I don't have the nav yet

Got HID sleek lights instead this time around. Will one day though.

 

so the ant is on the roof? i cant do that with the sunroof it'll block the signal.

 

Thanks for confirming that purerx7. Saved me the time of looking for a new unit.

 

Thanks for all the replies and help..

BTW! that double din kenwood looks amazing!

 

droptop: do you have the metal sunroof ro the glass one?

I have the glass sunroof, and doesn't mess with my reception at all.

 

i'll just pm you so we stop bugging these fine folks
