looking for Head Unit that matches the red/amber on the Z3m
Hiya all, been looking to get a new Head Unit for my car, kinda looking for one that matches the red/amber of the lights on the dials of the z3m, ipod connectivity and SD would be really cool..
Any help would be great thanks..

IMHO the Beckers are the best match not only to the display colours but also in style of the unit. Note its not the cheapest but quality and functions are unmatched
There was an interesting thread HEREabout installing them and in particular getting full speed sensitive control.
I have the Cascade unit with iPod interface (the best I have ever seen on any device), bluetooth phone and sat nav. It has 15 display colour options and is a great match to the Z3. Here it is installed in my Z3m

Thanks Zim,
Deffo looks alot better and even more oem in a black dash. It looks so oem i dont even bother removing the facia unit when parking 90% of time.
Money well spent in my humble opinion. Everything else looks so out of place with the retro style dash.
If you are not too bothered about satnav then the 7992 (***2 being the red display)is the one. Dont be tempted to go for the amber/orange display which sounds more suitable but is actually a very light yellow and does not match anywhere near as good as the red display.
Good luck with your search

The iDA-X305 is a nice red shade too.

I've got the exact same headunit.
I got the amber first thinking the lights were more orangey yellow than red but as said the red colour is the one to go for as it's a much better match. Luckily I was able to send it back for the red one.
Features and sound quality aren't brilliant IMO; it's not different to the factory headunit, but it wins on OE looks which just blend in perfectly compared to the garish Sony/Kenwood/Pioneer neon stuff.

I found the sound greatly improved over my original hu. In fact my wife was questioning me about gettting new speakers too. Maybe my old hu was a bit duff?? Mine was tape hu/autochanger and hk option. Was never too bothered about telephone side as prefer to pull over anyway but found iPod controls pretty good.

i have just bought an Alpine CDE-103BT. this has a 4 colour illumination option, one of which is orange which matches the dash lights perfectly.
it has blue tooth giving you handsfree control of you mobile, a seperate microphone (mine is fitted by interior mirror). it is only a single cd but has both ipod and a USB port.
i had mine fitted for under £250, but you can buy them for around £170 mark if you can fit youself.
i have always found Alpine to give great sound quality, and they connect to and have an on screen control for a subwoofer if you choose that route.
