Any of these, you can't miss.
Strap a sub into your boot / under your seat and, along with the standard speakers you already have, it'll be a world of difference.
All DAB, all Bluetooth
Value option
Rear-mount USB means less cables hanging out of the front of your dash, in the council style
Pioneer alternative
As soon as you can hook a phone into your stereo, would you even carry CD's anymore?.....I haven't since 2007 for example

The CDE alpine is slightly dearer than they one Goodj linked because it has a cd player. If you don't use cds go for the other one, it's shorter so will be easier to stuff all the wires in behind it and the savings can go towards a link cable so you can use the cars oem steering radio controls and display.

Yeah, but an 'auto knob' !

Unfortunately not. It's possible to set up with the steering wheel controls, it may offer this as a result from what I am told.

One that goes up and down of its own accord, sometimes at the most inappropriate moment. I thought we all had one of those[emoji38]

I'll be going for this when I get back in a Clio, it's DAB and Bluetooth as you can so will be perfect with the new laws that come in.

does it lose any other settings? Just in case its a problem with positive and switched-power inputs.

Nah man it's really good apart from that. I've maybe messed with the settings too much. Install is fairly straight forward too. Depends how easy your A pillars come off! Only thing I don't like is that you can't change the colour of the text/buttons to match your dash but it still looks good

I'm in the market, but want something that looks pretty subtle so I'm thinking this one

A previous owner fitted a slightly chav looking Pioneer FM jobby.
The radio reception is absolutely pitiful. We live in a poor signal area but the other 3 cars we have all pick up the usual range of FM and / or DAB stations. The Pioneer can only pick-up our local FM station, so it's got to go.
If anyone wants to try it in their car they can have it when it's removed for just the cost of postage.

I'd love DAB in mine but really want something standard looking, even that looks a bit too aftermarket for me.
You're going to be very hard pushed. There were Becker units, but now they're gone too.
http://radioplayercar.com be warned, its not cheap!
All the capability of an FM transmitter and a 12v charger..... for just £189.99? Bargain? (you did warn me)
That's bonefide, decent HU money.

for £100 I will totally rig you in an FM transmitter and a 12v charger.
That's over 40% of savings
But if you want the full on oem look surely is money well wasted?
If they want OEM look, they can deal with OEM functionality then.
I'm sure I've got an old 6210 car kit about, with the external aerial. That'll fix them up to be legal.
And just be sure to reload the 6-disc swapper every now and again.

Is there an oem looking aftermarket head unit? I.e one that doesn't look all neon and Halfords with lashings of chrome and buttons and a fancy light dance on start up?
Becker, they were the go-to.
But I suspect theyre not making them now so it'll be an eBay lucky dip.
Alternatively, any of the Alpine range that shut their screens down when you're not tinkering on them is the closest I can think.
But it's still not the OEM that OP is looking for

What's the deal with these? Seem too good to be true for the price. All singing all dancing DVD, Bluetooth, apps blah blah for less than £200
The button colours can be changed to suit the car lights too.
Pay £170 and receive a cardboard cut out with wires taped to the back?

Had a shitty unbranded Chinese double din with DVD etc in the van. It's somewhere down the M4 now. True story. F****d me off mentally and I pulled it out and launched it out the passenger window. Always froze, wouldn't read discs, maps wouldn't work, BT was poor connectivity.
