Best Bluetooth compatible headunit for £300??

[eves]

I need to fit a decent head unit into my focus ST-3 as the car doesn't have Bluetooth.

What's the best head unit that incorporates Bluetooth with a budget of £300

Something along the lines of this

I just bought a Kenwood BT42 for £80 from Halfords. Works great and does everything I need it to do. Even links with my phonebook so I don't have to call off my phone.

Got the usual pre-outs, aux in, USB etc. Etc.

gotta love halfords adverts... was 599 lol. that unit has never been 599 lol... but that is a very good price its advertised at now and is about the best youll prob get for the money mate. pioneers come with seperate mics aswell... id try and stay away from inbuilt mics as theyre poor compared to remote mounted ones... much clearer

Looks really cool that. I'd love to have a cd player with album art. But I just know I'd lose a window if I got something like that

I've got the pioneer DEH-8400BT which is really good for everything except radio. For some reason it just gets a terrible reception compared to other head units. Thinking of selling it

Think I'm gonna just get it then.

I need Bluetooth and like the look of this one. Seems to have got good reviews this year.

ive had the same pioneer unit in my cars for years.. but now im thinking of a bt unit. im also seriously impressed with digital radio aswell. i fitted one in a customers car a few weeks back and its awesome... cd clarity on the airwaves. you dont realise how bad normal radio (the stations and the quality!) is till you listen to dab+

Have just put the Kenwood bt43u in mine and is brilliant, comes with bluetooth, cd, usb and aux! Brilliant piece of kit and rather inexpensive.

Does it come with a separate mic?
