Im after a headunit (single or double DIN) that will nicely match the interior of my blobeye dash (Dark silver dash with green illuminations). The primary function is to play my ipod from the headunit, Im putting a cradle in front of the ash tray with the wire going behind the dash. So it must have USB direct ipod control out from the back of the unit, dont want an ugly wire coming out the front of the headunit.

I have looked endlessly and found the double din pioneer, but that has blue blacklights. Also found a single din green alpine one, but was really wanting a double din.

I think its wishful thinking to get a matching stereo with direct ipod control.

Why the scooby's have horrible green backlights I dont know, should be blue all the way.

Anyone know of any matching ones for the £200 and under mark??

 

Not under £200 unfortunately.
I've just got one very recently - Kenwood DDX-5022

Fits nicely, although not silver you don't notice it as such. My car is an MY05 STI.

Can control your IPOD

And you can change the backlight illumination to what ever colour you wish - literally whatever colour.

Shop around, you'll get it for £350, maybe even less.

This is something I've been on the look out for a while now, without success..

What was the model number of the single din alpine unit you mention..? As TBH, I'd probably prefer a single with a Forrester pocket below..

 

After more research, these are the units I have found that can directly control my ipod and has the option of a green background mate: -
