I fitted a JVC head unit, its retro looking and has a colour pallet so you can match the orange, also DAB, with aux and USB as well as bluetooth, fitted 4x 5.25" Vibe Slicks, sounds brilliant

Where did you find the chrome lighter plug, and hazard switch. I just bought my Z before winter, and haven't done much more than try to bring the motor up to snuff. The interior is sad. It's all beige, all plastic, and not well taken care of. The stereo is what I'm trying to work out now. I have the HK system, and the amp on the right in the trunk looks like it melted inside, and I'm hoping it was the bass amp. Anyone know how to unlock an oem unit asking for the code if you don't have it. The fuse was blown when I got the car, and once I figured out the amp thing, it held, but I didn't receive any books with the car.

Lighter plug is off Ebay and the switch is part of the chrome interior pack that came with the car, @Faheem should be able to help with the stereo code

@BimmerJunkie if you send through the serial number of your radio I will try and see if I can dig out the code for you.

So quick update. I went with a JVC KDX350BTS. Got it on sale for $60, with Bluetooth and it has adjustable colors so it matches good enough for my OCD. Sorry for the crappy pic of.
