Yes. I have a Nakamichi CD-400 head unit. About $399 or less and is no nonsense all black with removable faceplate. Display is choice of orange or green with buttons in either orange or green. If you choose all orange screen and buttons then it matches dash lights fine.

Clarion does like 10 different colors and matches perfectly! They also sound and look great. Then you can get the Sirius as an add on.

Custom airbrush paint job for Koa wood.
I removed 15 dash pieces and had them painted then put them back in.
I started with the 5 dash pieces and added more and more things until it got to 15 which was the limit. I could have done more but I think at some point you have to stop. All of my wood finish is limited to the dash, clock cover, vent rings, downtubes, coin holder and center console/shifter rings.

There're many brands that offer selectable illumination colors. Alpine, Kenwood, Clarion, just to name a few. However, if you want a head unit with monitor and GPS capability, Kenwood is the only one currently available with orange illumination.

Kenwood KVT-815DVD

A KW915 will never look like it fits. It wont blend in it will stick out. Thats why you get it. Don't get me wrong I plan to get the 915 w/ nav w/ Sirius. But it wont blend.
