This is what I have at the moment. Dead easy to install, and it works a treat, I can still use my CD changer too.

Cool mate, you got the blue tooth one?
What do you connect it to the equaliser?

here you go, not the best, i'll try get a night shot and i have tweaked the knob since and have got the right colour set up on that now



everything is customizable as far as colours for the buttons, knob and screen color plus other display features that you can customise, pretty good if your happy with simple, i had a dvd touch screen thingy-ma-bob and it was alright for when i was sitting about waiting for my GF to finish work as i could watch films etc but this i can operate without having to worry about pressing the wrong buttons whilst driving etc etc

and it looks really OEM
