I think I need a new headunit. Not too concerned with wether it looks period. It just needs to be black with amber illumination.
It needs to produce decent sound quality
Ipod connection and control
2 RCA's
Bluetooth
About £100 budget
Dont really feel like going Kenwood as I've had too many. Is Sony any good?
These are the ones that have caught my eye.
Alpine- Although the bluetooth adapter is very expensive

Clarion - again bluetooth adaptor is expensive.

Pioneer - Expensive

Ive had 2 brand new clarion Head units now and have rated them both very very well, the SQ is great. I will possibly be buying a 3rd for the cab.

ive got this, really good although the only real downside is its really dark brown and the screen isnt visible on a sunny day if your small and have your seat forward

The Clarion is a bit of a ugly duckling i thinks. the alpine looks much nicer

The more expensive one is more powerful and has the iPhone/iPod connector with it

Out of the bunch, I'd personally recommend the Pioneer model myself, purely for the audio processing in comparison to the other units.

Well I have alpine & more than satisfied with it, but I ran a sony Xplod through the same amp & sub setup for a 'let's see what happens' and it was in a different league of sound at a louder output, it put the alpine to shame

Just installed it. What a difference. Crystal clear and more powerfull. Build quilty top notch and Ipod control is very cool. Well worth £130.
