That is the only color that unit comes in. It is a dead unit. No internal amp. On of the better transports. It was mad for rockford by Denon. Very good HU for SQ applications.

hehee thanks for the explanation
although i should think about getting it painted black before install...
oh well, too much work to remove and redo it
but the red light matches quite well with the dash at night
about the steering wheel controls, probably just leave it the way it is, 'cause it's still controlling the bluetooth volume now (i would think it's either or...)

Ohh. The installer made it sound like you had the option of getting a black one. Or that you did not want him to paint it while he was painting the panel. 20/20 hind sight right. LOL
