Just for those who wanted to know (the 100 of us that don't have the mac) the head unit on the cars currently be produced is the FXD-885GD. I don't know if this is the same unit that was being used previously, as the early manufacturer car I saw without the Mac had a Rockford Fosgate unit (though I believe Eclipse actually made that unit). The current one has no markings that indicate the producer on the faceplate. This head unit is made by.....?

Sanyo. Looks good for a Sanyo though.

I'll post a pic in a minute. I'm resizing the photos I took today while I watched #1570 roll down the chassis line. Is it the same in yours Mr. Centerpunch?

Same as the one in mine 2006 (#1208). However, I'm not really a fan of the green display - especially at night when the rest of the interior looks so elegant with the white lighting. I suppose I won't keep this head unit for long - opting for something with MP3 and potentially NAV ability.

I noticed the green looking on the net. Ugh. Then again, I probably won't use the stereo much with the "other" stereo right behind the ear. I hate aftermarket stereos for the most part though, so I'll probably leave it alone...
