Default Head unit red display

Hey guys i have the stock audi head unit in my a4 b5 and im wanting to replace it but the trend with a lot of head units these days is a blue light display. I want a head unit with red lighting to blend in nicely with the rest of the red dash.

Anyone have any suggestions???

I know a few years back Eclipse offered head units with the ability to set whatever color you wanted. I think Pioneer or Panasonic also offers this. Most companies won't though - Alpine has their signature green displays, for one, and I don't think too many other companies offered the ability to change or set the color. Go through www.crutchfield.com and check out various units there - the info listed on the site for each unit will mention whether it has the ability to give you a choice of display colors.

Get the audi NAV+ system, if that doesn't have everything you want i don't know what does.

Im **** about that too and this is the one i got in my car last week. The red matches up perfectly but the only annoying thing is those four blue buttons but i have already gotten over that. Over all the deck is great and i have my ipod cord running into the glove box.

LOL, so much for what I said about Alpine and their signature green displays - I had no idea they started making red displays too. Sorry about that

you can actually change the display between blue and red in the IDA one (2nd link). As for the 9885 i've only seen it in red display.. don't knw why the pic shows blue.
