Default What kind of headunits are you guys running....

and what are your experiences with it? How does it match the interior? Pics would be appreciated. TIA! Edit: Is anyone running a Sony CDX-M800 or any other similar model? Thanks.

Default 2nd

Good enough for me and no aftermarket stuff can match as well.

Default Well...I don't have an OEM HU. I recently bought my car and it came with...

a Sanyo $30 POS non-working tape player which the dealer replaced with a Panasonic tape deck. My car did not come with a CD Changer (and if it did they removed it). I'm going to start school in just a few weeks and need a CD player ASAP. This is what I think I'm getting: <Img src="http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/products/2002/158/h158CDXM800-f.jpeg">

Default Sony doesn't make good HU's. Try Kenwood or Pioneer.

personally I'm running an excelon kdc-x769. no complaints whatsoever, it sounds great. not what you'd call an OEM match, but I like it.
