I had an Eclipse CD 5442 that I sold a few years back thinking that I would never need it again. That HU was so expensive when I bought it new and was in perfect condition. Now I need a single din HU and I can't seem to find one or the guy I sold it to. There are a few things I like about the old unit and I'm going to just reach out here and ask for those in the know to lead me down the right path.
Wants:
3 sets of pre outs definitely sub if only one can be had.
decent voltage output on the pre outs
station preset buttons (1-6) I don't see that much often anymore, used to be standard.
ability to change color. I'd like to match the old bmw redish/amber color.
A knob for volume, not buttons.
aux input via standard 3.5mm jack. no need for iphone connection. usb okay but from the rear would be best if at all.
Here's the fun part. The car is a driving restoration. I've wanted this car for 13 years and finally found one in decent shape. Wife, kids, work, and little time or money puts the build on a slow pace. If there is a HU that meets all of these needs that's relatively older and can be bought used, I'd be in good shape. I don't have to have todays best, yesterdays best still rocks my world.
