Head unit troubles -- suggestions needed!
Ive got a 2004 Tacoma Double Cab and im looking to replace the stock head unit. Ive had trouble finding a headunit that lights up orange to match the orange lit guages already in the truck. If anyone knows of a headunit that would match... it would be greatly appreciated.

The main issue is this, the car audio manufacture's take a few months to catch up with the new trends. Orange lit guages seem to be the new trend. If you wait a few months I'm sure someone will come out with something you will like. Otherwise you can look into other options like multi-colored displays i.e. Pioneer's new line is one such company. I myself have one and I do like it, fairly cheap, good sound, looks great. It all depends also on what you are looking to do with your car audio system.

I used to have an old Kenwood deck that would allow you to switch the illumination from green to orange, but I haven't seen anything like that in a long time.

I own this one, and just let the color display go through its cycle. but you can set it for a certain color and I'm sure you could match the orange with it. The buttons and stuff only come in red and green (I think) though.

I've got a clarion dxz745mp that has a ton of colors and three adjustable user-set colors. check them out. i got mine off of ebay for like ~$230. Also, all the buttons change color with the dispaly...
