Clarion made a great head unit last year that has variable illumination. If you can still find it somewhere, it is a nice receiver.

I thought it looked a bit cheaply made when I saw pictures of it, but after seeing one in RL and playing with it, it is a nicely made unit. I was going to buy it, but the money just wasn't there.

If you have the funds I would install a 2 din head unit, it really upgrades the look of the dash and it will give you the features that you are looking for, the only downside is the $$$

You can do a double din install for ~$500. The Double din kit is like $170 and you can find AVIC-D3's or AVIC-D2's for around $300 and up on ebay.
