I wouldnt have a blaupunkt never heard one yet that i liked the sound of and i've heard and played with a few, nothing wrong with Clarion though.

As always with me being an Alpine whore i would advice you to check out alpines range

reason i bought a clarion is that ive had a few head units over the past few year and the best sounding IMO was my £60 clarion HU, so decided to get a decent clarion

Arrived today doesnt seem to brown at all, seems very light as there is no cd mechanism, sound quality is superb, the bass i get from it is unreal, and the high frequencys are very clear, I highly reccomend, only downside is if your a short arse like me you cant see the top of the display. I love the way these sound, prehaps there not as well built as old school clarions but sound awsome, 100% better than my nakamichi cd 300

5 stars

cheers for input much appreciated alpine caught my eye for sure but in my price range seems you have to get the hands free section seperate which bumps the price by 100 quid or so been checkin out new clarions the CLARION CZ509EG seems to tick all the right boxes but before i plunge in next week anyone know about em sorry to be a pain about this but with money the way it is and my ability to make bad choices religiously any help is good help
