Holy Moly! These prices are out of my budget and league! Anything in the 10 to 15K range - simple looking HU. (I love how I went from retro looking to basic units - how money dictates our lives!)

I found one more simple Clarion - It comes stock in Subaru vehicle's - PF-2597A-B. Maybe I can ask a Clarion dealer for this. The other option is get a used modern stock mercedes Blaupunkt (I see one from a C320 going for $50 on ebay - but I wonder if this will fit?). At this point since my options are limited, I will forgo the Mp3 / Aux capabilities - I just want a simple / clean as retro looking possible HU that is available - Basically Zero Jhintak.
