Title: Alpine CDE-9850Ri

I know a few people have fitted these in their 2's... & I really like the idea of them, & having seen one in action am really really tempted... just one thing is putting me off, and that's how the blue head unit looks at the side of the orange lit dashboard...

does anyone else feel the same?
does anyone else care?
does anyone else have any pics?

thanks (again)
rob

You can change the colour to orange though it's not a good match for our dashboard.  TBH, I forget which colour I have mine set to, whatever it is, I can barely see the thing with my knees in the way so I'm not exactly worried  s;) ;) s;)

I had a blue HU in my old car at one point, and tbh it's not that off-putting when driving.

It's quite a bit brighter and darker than our dash lights (I've got it on orange!) but it doesn't look too bad imo.
