Looking for an aftermarket headunit

[mikeh]

I need something that'll do the following;

Bluetooth calls,
A2DP Playback,
Preferably iPod and USB connectivity, although no essential.

It should be able to interface with the existing steering wheel controls with a cable that doesn't cost a fortune, and it would be great if it could display to the existing display as well.

Ideally I want something cheap as possible, so it should be old enough that I can find it on eBay and not cost a fortune.

Thanks

Well im not sure if its exactly what your looking for but i would recommend the Alpine CDE-113BT, or any of the BT models of Alpine tbh
The BT's can make bluetooth calls, you can get ipod connectivity and usb connectivity, and im fairly sure you can get an adapter for the steering wheel controls for about 15-20 quid
Thats what i have in mine at the moment and its a really good unit, i just havent got the steering wheel control adapter
Plus, there are older models that you can probably find on eBay a lot cheaper, like the CDE-104BT or something like that
Hope this helps

+1 on the Alpine BT units. I had one in my Golf and before that had a none BT Alpine unit and both were superb. Great quality on the units and great sound too

Great units, with 3.5mm aux input, usb audio, ipod connectivity (with separate cable, ebay) however there is no option to stream audio over bluetooth! It quite annoyed me when i found this out and although i don't really need it i am shocked it doesn't have a simple feature like this.

Why would you want Bluetooth audio when you have iPod connectivity?

Another +1 for alpine.

Another +1 for alpine.

Because I want to stream music via A2DP/Bluetooth from something other than an iPod.
