Help me choose a head unit please?

[hammoj28]

Right, need a new head unit for my car. It alread has a sony cd changer in the boot so it has to be a sony head unit because as far as i know you can only link up a sony HU to a sony changer?

So, basically it has to be sony and a black one because it looks nicer. My HU at the mo looks tacky and is playing up. My budget is around Ԛ£180.

I have so far got my eye on this:

Dont really know what to get though or if this is any good? Any help/suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Try http://www.bluespot.co.uk for the Blaupunkt range... can't get better looking / quality than that my friend... I've had them for years, and if you choose the right one, it'll compliment the interior of your E30 very well...

Especially this one... http://www.bluespot.co.uk/stock/toronto.asp



Hope that helps.

if you go for that sony unit dude try ebay because they are only 114quid brand new! i too was eyeing this unit up, they look lush, as geeman said though blaupunkt are quality units!

bit steep for JUST a head unit.

[hammoj28]

Hmmm. Yeah i like blaupunkt but could i liknk it up to my sony changer? Yup that HU does look ace and I think it would look good in my car.

different manufacturers don't mix. so the answer is NO.

er??? yes it is !

A clarion CD changer wont plug into a Kenwood Head unit, (for example) because the conectors are different and the two units speak different languages (so to speak)

[hammoj28]

Yeah thats what I thought with them speaking different languages and the plugs not matching.

Sony it is then.

What are your opinions on this? Seems ok for the price?

[hammoj28]

Cool. Think I will get it. Seems a decent price and should blend in with my dash ok.
