I retroffited the whole Dolby system in my 850 (center speaker, Dolby decoder, V70 amp, 901 radio)

Now I am planning to change the 901 for a black 805. So if someone wants to swap feel free
Ha Ha whoops just seen your location, i think Berlin might be a little too far for me to travel just for a head unit!!!

Just looked and i see what you mean, grey ones everywhere! found a black 801 but not an 805. Maybe follow the suggestion from ovlovs70 and put a request out to british breakers yards, i'm sure one would turn up.

I have some bigger "construction sites" at the car at the moment, and the 901 isn't so bad either
In time I'm sure I will stumble across one...

you recently mentioned that you were after a black sc805, whilst looking for my sc901 i found this sc815 going in America that can be posted anywhere. Don't know how much you wanted to spend but have a look. Its item no. 121130808657
Don't know if thats helpful but thought i'd try to return the favour after your help.
