Default Anyone know of any head units that look stock?

Anyone know of any good single din units that sound good and don't look like they're from Star Trek? I want to upgrade the sound system in my 1993 Bronco(basically a 1993 F-150) but all of the units I see look COMPLETELY out of place.

Below is an example of the look I want the unit to emulate. Now, obviously, I'm not expecting an exact replica. I just want it to look like something Ford could have installed instead of something J.J. Abrams did. Honestly, I'd rather deal with crappy audio than ruin my dash with one of those units.

I honestly forget who makes them, but there is a company out there that makes aftermarket radios that look like factory and have all the updated features of a custom unit... A lot of guys put them in their classic cars. Granted, a 93 Bronco isn't exactly "classic", but they might have something for you. If I come across who it was again I'll be sure to let you know

I think it's called "Custom Audio"

Yike that's a hard search. Your search term is like "Old car radios but not really that old, just not as new as the ones that are out now. Not vintage cause its not old enough yet and not the premium one either, just the basic one." lol I just did a few searches to see what I could come up with and its just hard to find cause I doubt those radios are sought after. Good luck though!!

I don't have any suggestions for head units, but I do just want to point out that those are double din units, not single! Just want to save you a possible headache down the line.

Yah lol. I've been looking and all I see are ones for trucks ~15 years older.



Thanks everyone for the links though!

Are you sure this is double din? Here's a pic of the radio in the Bronco. I didn't think they made them any smaller than this.
