FWIW  The Blaupblaup CD72, MP72 head units all have the same logic at the
interface for the faceplate.  So... if the Los Angeles MP72 is what you want
but you dooona like the assthetics, silver and all, you can replace the
faceplate with one from a CD72 (orlando) or a Miami and still have all the
MP3 CDRW SD/mmc card stuff AND the dual auxiliary inputs AND the Thummer
Remote AND the nicely subdued faceplate.

Or if you need to match that Blaupblaup America blue display use the Miami
faceplate.  Still works fine as the headunit provides the drive logic and
data to the display regardless of Orlando, Miami or Los Angeles.  Avoid the
San Jose and similar non-DIN rear interface head units.  No options with
those.

MP72 + Orlando Faceplate + MPD-01 + Thummer III is a nice electronics setup
when also coupled with a HIT or other automatic antenna and the Automute
feature when using the cellphone to answer plaintive wails from BenT as to
why I had to do brakes instead of enjoying the companionship of my fellow
vanagonauts in SF at Van-o-rama 05.
