right i know this prob gets posted all the time, however im after a double din head unit and im looking to spend about £300-£400, now is there anything you guys could recommend? preferably something youve had fitted so you can comment on how it is for day to day use?

cheers

Hi mate,

There is this : http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/139868-ebay-double-din-hu-octy-i-vrs/

Or maybe the JVC AVX 810/820 series..

There are a couple of options depends on what you want.

Bump for this topic. really wnat one with sat nav and that link is invalid now

Just do a search on ebay, that link that Cawmere posted is the same head unit as I've got but if you just do a search on ebay and look at the ones that are about £200 they're pretty much the same head unit just with different graphics on the software and slightly different buttons on the front.

i was thinking about buying a chinese clone unit, but after reading some of the stuff on here, and speaking to audio fitters, i am not going to risk it.

some units work fine, some dont.

for me, there's only one choice for the money you wish to spend, and this is it.... http://www.pioneercaraudioonline.co.uk/products/29/431/avh-3200bt/ it has no sat nav, but you can fit a module and you will be up and running. i have a pioneer fh-p80bt, and it is a great peice of kit, bluetooth, usb, ipod, etc, etc. as soon as i have the pennies i will be upgrading to avh-3200bt, {as my current pioneer is not dvd or touchscreen} you just cant compare the quality of pioneer and other aftermarket units to the the chinese stuff.

i am not taking the risk, but each to there own, the chinese clones are very tempting, but how long will they last ???

I had a Kenwood DNX 7200 fitted in my Octy VRS Mk 1, it has built in Garmin Sat Nav, Ipod Control, TMC and more AV inputs/ outputs than you could shake a stick at, I'm going to be posting it for sale very shortly as I have sold the car and am going with the OEM Columbusin my new car because of its integration with the Factory fit Maxidot and phone system, otherwise it would definately be going back in. the Kenwood systems are the best all in one solution by far, check out the hundreds of reviews online and you'll see what I mean! PM Me if you want photo's / details
