    Ugly tacky gizmos

    So I have been shopping for a head unit for the last couple of weeks..and have found pretty much everything in my price range (~200) to be hideous to look at. What happened to simple and good? I don't need or want a million buttons for bluetooth/handsfree/usb/ipod with a dancing display. I want black and white simple, reserved, refined (well as refined as I can get for 200 bucks.) Blaukpunkt used to make decks like this and that was where I went first but even theirs are tacky. I must be getting old. Anybody got any ideas/,suggestions?

        Nakamichi look great with a simple, functional design but you are going to have to pay for it.

          Uh..yeah. That does look really great but, WAY out of my budget. I would not be allowed to come back in the house if I bought that.

            Simple. Clarion DXZ385USB. Very inexpensive and works great. Paid $85 shipped.

                Once again, Money and sourcing it would be a problem. Similar to Nakamichi.

                  You want USB, trust me on this.

                  120 CDs on a thumb drive is wonderful.

                  95% of my customers have the same complaint.

                  Check Kenwood for matching color/simple.

                  GL!

                    I like my Kenwood X993, been good so far, but I don't have an E30. You can change the colors of the display to match your colors. It also has USB and Bluetooth (Parrot).
