I really need to change my HU (tape deck=ftl). But, I want something totally OEM looking. A friend recommended this:



But I don't like the blue color as it won't match the rest of my interior lights (This HU also doesn't have adjustable/changable display colors).

My plan is to do this:

1. Install JDM Honda Nav Pod (sits on the dash)
2. Install new HU

The HU must look stock. I don't really want any crazy features (blue tooth, Mp3 player, etc... etc.). I would like 6-cd in dash or something, some cool features would be nice.. but not totally required.

What do you guys think of replacing the HU with a newer Honda or Acura HU? Doable? Complicated? Recommendations? thanks!

You should ask the guys over on NSXPrime. Their awesome! J/k I'm on there too. I had no idea you were even on this forum. From the looks of your post count, looks to be alot more than on Prime. LOL

Do you want flip out screen or anything? Double Din?

^ DD is fine, definitely do NOT want to get a flip out screen. As it screams after market.

dope!

red... I think, synth, have you seen the RDX install that was done by a member on NSXprime, that was sick and looked OEM.

^ It looked crazy complicated.

how about install any headunit to ur taste oem looking or not..and do what a member here did, he cut out the face of the oem headunit and used it to cover his after market headunit when his car was parked.

My boss has an Alpine double-din in his Mazda 3, not sure what model it is though. Of course it isn't OEM but it looks really clean. I'd be more concerned with the dash-trim matching, double-din or not.... there are quite a few options out there.

If you really want, check out the JL Audio Cleansweep.... there's several other similar products out there. Nothing more OEM than the OEM itself.... the Cleansweep acts like an EQ, but its hidden out of sight, improves sound quality, you can control it from a Palm Pilot even, and it also gives you the use of RCAs, IIRC. There's some other features but I looked into it a long, long time ago... check it out
