  • Radio vs A/C Controls color..

    So I picked a head unit at my local junkyard with AUX and installed/had it unlocked from a dealer. My question here is regarding the difference in color of the two "devices". The radio has more of a brown hue and the AC controls definitely has more of a slate grey hue.. So I went back the JY and looked into multiple units and all of them seemed to have a similar (if not as distinct) difference in color.. I even compared the old HU from my car to the new one and still there appears to be a difference in color.. Is this "normal" or do I just happen to be picking the wrong units for comparison.. I have attached a pic to show what mine currently looks like.

    Maybe just give it a good cleaning? I wonder if someone smoked in the car it came out of.

      Well, you could always repaint it. I also have a How-To for that. You could always swap out that stereo to a double din and get yourself the 2010 style speedometer instrument cluster and call it done. Or eventually of course.

        How hard is the 2010 style instrument cluster to swap out? Is there a how-to for that? I feel pretty handy and I love doing stuff like that I just need to see if my local junkyard has a 2010 with the instrument cluster in good condition, and price a decent double din HU.. money, money...

          I forgot to mention I went by the JY today and all of the HU's seemed more great than mine.. I would just replace it one of those it's only $30 but then I would have to have it unlocked again and that was $70.. just for kicks here is what one cluster I removed looked like these are from the same vehicle.
