I currently have a DEH8400mp
deh_p8400mp_mf_detailpage.jpg


which is knocking on a bit now, still sounds great, has plenty of connections for amps, plays mp3, wma etc.

Ideally I want something which does everything the 8400 does but with a usb plug in the back of it that will take an ipod and bluetooth for hands free too. Preferably a Pioneer or an alpine unit and definately NOT a Sony. budget isn't an issue but I'm not bothered about having full colour oel display or ability to display album art or video files although if it has this function too then it's no bad thing.

Or you could get yourself an Alpine with USB capability and add the bluetooth unit. But you will end up with more boxes/cables.

Want to avoid having lots of boxes to find homes for tbh. Not sure what will be replacing the 182 yet and there's not a huge amount of space for cables on the clio as it is.

Half tempted by this, genuinely thinking what's the point of a cd drive which once my ipod is plugged in will be redundant anyway.

EDIT: Balls just noticed it needs a BT adaptor.

Just seen your edit about needing the adaptor!!

The one i posted is the only one which has it all built in at the mo....
 
Torn now, lol like the look of that Alpine alot just trying to decide whether to get that and maybe get the bluetooth unit later if I find myself using the phone in the car more.
