Looks fantastic! God knows where youll get a new face plate from tho? Cant argue with the price.

 

[Smokey]

maybe stolen goods, is coming from Italy afterall

make sure you get a proper receipt

Sony might not wanna give you a faceplate unless you can prove it aint warm to the touch

£170 doorstop otherwise!!

 

[Smokey]

Im willing to pay upto £150 for the face plate so almost guarenteed to win it.

 

[nelson182]

Must be stolen goods, no way it could be sold for that little amount of money

 

[steve a]

Didnt think you could buy face plates for this very reason??

 

[Smokey]

Of course you can buy face plates. What if i genuinely lost mine?? Or broke it.

Anyway have a look here http://servicesales.sel.sony.com/web/viewItemDetail.do?operation=getItemDetail&itemID=11628&category=2&categoryName=Car%20Audiohttp://servicesales.sel.sony.com/web/viewItemDetail.do?operation=getItemDetail&itemID=11628&category=2&categoryName=Car%20Audio

$169 and even thou there website says they wont ship out of US i have had a e-mail telling me they will so if i do lose the ebay one we can still get one.

Anyway, who cares if its stolen..............Not me

id say 75% of stuff sold on ebay is either stolen or counterfeit

how about i can go one better, having worked for an ICE dealer, ive had plenty of experience with the unit, to say its a bad all round unit would be about justice for it. SQ is poor, doesnt feel like its a good unit, looks cheap, only decent thing about it is the playback (it works)

 

[Smokey]

Thats more like it lol,

Cheers fella but i have had Sonys before and some say there sh*te some say there great. To me my 6 year old sony sounds the same as my mates Alpine HU and his cost £500 mine cost £75.

Im not a chav who has boombastic tunes blaring out full chat, all i have is standard renault door speakers and thats it, so SQ is not top of my list.

This holds 165hours of music which is what im most interested in as i hate having a glovebox full of cds

 

[DAVE_RSi]

i had a sony md player hu in my car, had it for 3 years with not one problem


id say its a good price seeing as you only really want it for the harddrive etc

 

[Smokey]

Won the face on ebay tonight for £70

So £240 all in, including a wireless remote and 128mb memory stick which i didnt realise the HU came with.
