Re: [alfa] illuminated shifter knob (and radio stuff)

[Benjamin Kaupp <bkaupp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bavarian Autosports sells one for BMWs (might work on the Alfa), and if 
you pick up a copy of Import Tuner, I'm sure you can find one somewhere 
in there. BA can be found at <http://www.bavauto.com>

As far as the radio is concerned, you have a few options: Some of the 
higher end Alpine units used to have selectable illumination colors. 
Same goes for Clarion (ProAudio DXZ835MP) and Blaupunkt, though Blau 
went downhill after they were bought out by Bosch (the same people who 
messed up fuel injection for everybody). The buttons on some Kenwood 
decks are reddish, as are those on Sony and JVC. But in the end it all 
comes down to Nakamichi. Anything higher than the CD45z is gonna have 
illumination designed to match the amber illumination of the Europeans. 
I also heard a rumor that the CD35 is available special order with 
amber illumination, but the higher end ones (especially with the trick 
single-DIN 6cd changer) are pretty cool. And relatively inexpensive, 
all things considered. All things, in this case, being the cost of a 
good deck, good CD changer, wiring, and 4v preamp outputs.

All of these (with the exception of the Nak) are available at 
Crutchfield.com or SoundDomain.com, or just enter their model number in 
google to find StolenCo or Felloffthetruck.com
