Headunit

[louischristie8]

Hi,
Can anyone recommend a decent head unit, i would obviously like a cd player, i am not too fussed bout digital radio, but a sd card slot or usb would be a bonus!!!

I seem to get the vibe to stay away from sony....

i would probably buy on ebay or another second hand option.

thanks

What sort of budget are we talking here?

I bought a Pioneer DEH-P75BT about a month ago and I would recommend it. It hasnt got a SD card slot but it does have bluetooth which works great. I paid £233 for it from from Amazon from caraudiosecurity. Wrks out cheaper than buying it from the caraudiosecurity site.

Hmm...there's the Becker Pro HUs (280 IIRC new) and plenty of other SQ CD player units - you can get an absolute stonker second hand with 400 quid

Hi, thanks for all your suggestions, but i have brought my friends blaupunkt dab52 for a very reasonable price.

do u have any tips or things i should know for when i install it. i am going to get the steering controls adapter so i can still control the stereo with my steering wheel buttons.

Is it fairly straight forward to install?

thanks
