Hey guys and gals. I own a 2005 V6 Mustang, and I never use the radio, but always use CDs. I'm getting tired of making "mix CDs", so I'm looking into an after market head unit, but I have some criteria it must meet, and I was wondering if you guys can help me out?

It must:

• Not be flashy or colorful (looks like it could have been there from the factory)
• Ideally fit the entire space the original head unit took up (again, factory looking)
• At least have a single CD player
• Aux cable input
• Around $200
• Works with stock equipment/speakers (plug and play, and it's the base four speaker system)

I'm really looking for something that "looks" right, but again is around $200 and has an aux input (which everything does these days anyway).

If you guys know of anything, please let me know! I found some interesting things online, but I wanted to hear from the people who actually own our cars.

Thanks!

there are some here but I've never used any of them so I don't know if they're any good or not.

This will be your best bang for the buck.

Dont for get to snag your Dashkit and harness so you can install the unit.

Dashkit: Metra 95-5812
Harness: Metra 70-5521 or Metra 70-5520 if you are non shaker

Install time should be 30 min. - 1 hour if you have never done it before.

Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestion! I don't think I've come across that one yet. Not really feeling the styling though. As with most of us on here, I'm picky with my car and what goes in it. Lol.

EDIT: However... The more I look around, the more I think it is the best bet, and doesn't look THAT bad. Lol.

I didn't think about looking at Parts Express. I have a dealer account with them, so I'm surprised I didn't. Haha.

I picked up a JVC here http://www.crutchfield.com for my '05 GT. to me it "fits" and looks good. You can choose display colors. They ship a "kit" with directions. Some fellow said about an hour to install, he's quick, it took me some time for sure. But I get nervous doing stuff like that. Also, they have a number to call for input if you are stumped.

Does anyone have that Pioneer in their stang? If so, could you kindly post some pictures of how they look in your car? Thanks!
