Sony makes one. Most people on this forum would tell you to do a search for it. Its an import from japan and goes really well with the z.

i have a couple of questions, ozz. does that particular head unit have an auxiliary (rca in) function? do you have any pictures of your headunit in the dark as well as the daytime? i'd really like to see what it looks like and how well it meshes with the z's interior. and lastly how did you get them to change the backlight? did you pay extra initially, or was it custom work? thanks in advance.

Check out the Clarion line. You can customize the display colors and it has vg quality. I'm very happy with mine. (DXZ835MP) and it does a good job with MP3

Check out the Nakamichi CD-400 and even the CD-700 (pricey). Not alot of the frills you get on some other HUs but from the specs, it looks like they both have Aux/In capabilities.

Sorry I don't have any pictures of my install at this time. This weekend I hope to get the sub enclosure built. I can't wait to get that ED 10a installed.
The clarion is readily available on ebay do a search I saved quite a bit of money on my audio gear on ebay.
The only thing I paid full price for is the ed sub but that's worth it

thanks for all of your valuable input, guys. i really appreciate it. the best ones on my list are the nakamichi cd-700, the alpine 7998, and the clarion. if can manage to cough up the money for those high end headunits i will.. otherwise, the clarion seems like a very reasonable alternative. now, another request, any tips on where i can get the alpine or the nakamichi cheap?

I can get you the 7998 fiarly cheap. I have 2 sources. I can get it for $600 + shipping from 1 place. The other I'll have to call as a friend of my dad's owns a shop in Dallas. PM me if you are interested.
