    Old school look with new school tech

    Guys I am looking for a company that makes an oem "look" head unit with 2016 technology. Just picked up this 1990 325is with a crap pioneer radio installed, it totally screws up the original look, love the orange/Amber lights. Any ideas?

        I just installed a Continental TR7412UB-OR.
        It plays MP3 file from the front USB port and more importantly has Bluetooth capability.
        The unit lights up in orange which is slightly different from original deck, but acceptable.
        Overall, I love it.

            the Kienzle MCR-1016BT is another good option.

                            Pioneer CDE-HD149BT seems to have a very close color. Sorry no pics.
