Entry level headunit - Sony or Blaupunkt?

[frans-c 10+ year member]

A friend of mine wants to buy an entry level headunit of approximately $100 for his vintage W123-series Mercedes Benz. His main requirement is that the unit should look kind-of OEM.

I found the Blaupunkt Bahamas MP46 that ought to fit the car quite well:

He's thinking of the Sony CDX-A250, which I'm not too fond of:

Any other suggestions, or would one of these units suffice?

definatly get the kenwood they are great hu's but the blau isnt that bad if you have to get that, i had one and it was a decent unit but do not get that sony

overall the kenwood is way better than both of those
