What about the Becker Grand Prix... it looks alot like the indianapolis, but no GPS.

Not sure what they run, but appears to be available right here:

Here is a good place to see many of the Becker faceplates all on one page:

To me what makes a unit 'look like it belongs' is when it matches the design/color/accents of the center console and dash displays, and resembles the vintage of the controls (matte black *****, nothing chrome or brushed aluminum, etc).
Personally, I think the CD 210 & 220 really look like they belong. PORSCHE spelled out on the face doesn't hurt.
The Nakamichi looks like a factory unit as well.
The Becker looks almost at home as the 220 & the Nak. but it also replicates styling cues of the 928.
If you look at the two ***** within a wide oval:


..it reminds me of a certain logo:

Stan could take it a step further and spell out MOTORSPORT in each button

Hang on to your hats.. 600 EURO's new. Instlaling it could double the value of some 928's

There's a cheap one with the wrong backlight colour on UK ebay at the moment - a Becker 7993 (Mexico pro with bluetooth).

Big ouch, then I see this:

surely there was a zero missing... $70 sound way to low

Although I really like the stock look of the Becker and Nakamichi, I gave modern features the same priority as aesthetics. Having both for under $300 eliminated any Becker and Nakamichi.

I came up with something that I'm really happy with - the JVC KD-A95BT.

Up until now, I'd regarded JVC as an average brand, similar to Jensen. Not at all the case these days. This is a quality unit with some really nice features. Although not critical to me, FM reception is outstanding.
Sound and customizeable features are also outstanding.
The ability to fine tune your system based on the sub size/output level/phase, individual speaker size/cutoff frequency/filter depth and distance from the listener/who the primary listener is/are (driver, passenger, front seats, all) makes a considerable difference in customizing the sound.
Other neat things like individual settings for each source, etc. add to the usable features.
It’s sat radio ready; HD Radio ready; and has an iPhone and Droid interface for Pandora.
The hands-free phone feature (tiny mic that you locate at the A-pillar); Bluetooth; USB port for use with MP3’s on a flash drive; and AUX are all nice features that allow the hands-free operation that I wanted.
So it’s loaded with neat features.
But in keeping with the theme of this thread, the appearance of this unit really works for me. The face is a basic black and lacks chrome, glitzy lights and blingy buttons. It does have small gold badging, which I would have preferred being white, but it’s not too bad.
The “Demo” mode can be disabled which turns off the little disco light show that bounces and sways with the output level.
The most important feature for me is the color palate. You’re given Red, Green and Blue to assign a value to and customize both the buttons and the display, together or independently for daytime, night time and contrast settings. I was able to replicate the orange digital characters on my GT’s dash. This makes this unit really look like it belongs, in my opinion.





I was happy with the Blau Honolulu’s sound, and it looks a bit more ‘at home’ than this JVC:



but the sound and features of this JVC win over the Blau hands down.

On another note, I realized that I have a good Porsche CR-1 that came with the car. Is there a demand for these?

Hi,

I'm a fan of originality, so in a car kept original I think nothing beats the looks of an old Blaupunkt key card/cassette player!
Even if some pixels sometimes disappear to reappear only when they fell it's time...

Cool. I put a JVC head with remote 12-Disc changer in my Supra about 10 years ago and have absolutely no regrets.

Most manufacturers have more than one color faceplate text. High end audio stores carry the “real thing” which is a different color than the discount chain stores have. Model numbers, features, quality, etc., may or may not be the same so you need to be careful that you know what you are buying.
