I kinda thought this one ould look kinda good in the SVX interior. The green actually matches our lighting scheme.

DEH-P470MP

Mine doesn't have the green lighting scheme, but I think the overall design, which is similar the 470MP, works well with SVX interior. That 470 looks pretty good.

For the curious, I purchased a head unit on the way home from KY with the new SVX



Paid only $142 for it and it sounded as good or better than any other unit under $200. I am thrilled with it and can't wait to install it. Hate to muss up the existing factory head unit but I will need to steal the connector from it and splice the new unit's wires to it. Harness for the SVX is almost impossible to buy anywhere. I realise that someone here actually makes them for the SVX but I don't have the time or patience to order one and wait for it to arrive.

I went to a sound system shop over here, well the best (the cheapest one is for $1500...) he said Blaupunkt used to make the best units, but now it became crap... he is using Clarion, Pioneer, Rockfort Fosgate, JBL......

I don't wanna purchase a unit made in Singapore anyway...
its speakers are made in China! especially the Velocity units...

$1500??? Holy smoke! You'd be better off picking out a unit, then sending us the money and having one of us ship it out to you. Is everything that expensive over there?

not only the unit, but also a set of 4 speakers and a small amplifier for the rear speakers... all for $1500

but electronics over here are very expensive, for example the Pioneer DVH-P5000MP costs around $700 over here (at the dealership) whereas in the States it is set for sale on ebay around $350....

But I am lucky concerning Labor costs over here... they are almost negligeable.. anything can be done in no more than $100 whatever time it will take to be fixed...

The new unit is in and I am very pleased with the result. I installed it in the top DIN slot and there are no door issues whatsoever. The sound it produces is worlds better than the factory unit, even with the factory speakers. Listened to "Korn & The Dust Brothers - Kick The PA" on the way to work this morning and I was blown away by the bass. It sounds like a have subs in the freakin thing. Really sweet.

Best of all was I did not have to destroy the original unit. I had to cut the end off of the original wiring harness and solder the connections to the new connector while in the car. Had to do all my soldering with a flameless butane lighter. My thumb is still a little sore from the heat. I will be offering the original unit and cd player for sale very soon. They work very well but the cd player doesn't like CDR's all too well. It actually liked some purple CDRs I had on me but skipped all over the place when I played standard silver CDRs in it and obviously it did not play MP3s at all.
