    Help finding a period-correct head unit?

    Hey guys. I've been wanting to replace the absolutely horrendous disco-like flashing head unit in my car that the PO installed. I actually don't play much music in the car, and because I want to make my car basically as original or period-correct as possible, I am tossing around the idea of finding an old Blaupunkt HU (maybe even a CD, even though it'll skip) and sticking it in. Performance isn't the most important part for my purposes.

    Any ideas as to the best places to look, or what kind of eBay searches to make? I haven't had much luck finding what I'm looking for as of yet.

    Here are some product scans I found from 1990 and 1991:




    Current: 1990 325iS | Past: 1991 318iS

      If you want stock look and aren't worried about sound, why not put a stock deck back in? Our a business cd43.

          Keep looking on Ebay, someone will pop up eventually. Hit up the flea market too, many people selling old stuff stashed in their garage for years, I bet you will find something there.
