Plain looking, but nice sounding, single din car stereo - recommendations?

Do they exist?

I had a JVC Chameleon years ago, and loved it. But they don't seem to do them anymore!

Pioneer or Becker do decent plain looking head units.

I did also find that Blaupunkt do rather bland looking ones.

I really want one that has next to no light emission at night, that would be great!

Perfect? Lol on a serious note, Becker do some standard looking ones and blaupunkt are good too. Had one a few years ago and it sounded good.

Ok, so bluetooth streaming and iphone hookup are a must. Mechless is fine too.

Becker tend to be classiest.

I've got a cheap alpine and it's not flashy but does look aftermarket. My dials are white though so it stands out less.

Nakamichi might be another option for good SQ but understated looks.

What are you after in functionality too? Dab/MP3/Bluetooth etc etc

Bluetooth for music from my iphone, and the ability to turn the whole thing off at night (but still play).

And for it to be in keeping with the cheap 90's interior the evo has.

I don't even really need a head unit, a bluetooth receiver with an amp to power the speakers would do!

Went for that myself, if the knob/call button weren't chrome it would be perfect.

Not sure if it fully blacks out though.
