After selling my JVC double din head unit I'm after a single din. What would you recommend? Are there any good deals out there? I'm after reasonable sound quality, simplicity to use and must have a memory card slot weather it be a USB (must ge on a lead) or SD behind or on the face, or both. I'd appreciate your views on different H/U's and maybe a few piccies and links.

Many thanks to those who respond.

check the specs, £149 delivered

Hows this Ross??

Usb on front, 3.5 jack input as well. And most importantly

matching green display. And for £80 delivered

Can't go wrong. :no:

Just remember to switch the red and yellow wires round

before installation.

Seems good value given the RRP price was £150. It is a discontinued unit though. Would be worth checking the specs against Sony's newer models to suss out th real value of it.

Well worth it for what you get. I also installed an aftermarket external microphone.

Cracking piece of kit IMHO

Nahhh, needs to be blue

I typed the model number in to google. One link showed up Amazon UK, so off I popped over there.

There's a whole load of no-longer-availables but you can find potential replacement/newer units. Some as low as £70!

Do your own research on it but I've formed the opinion Sony change their line up every time they change their socks. As a result, even the newer stuff is far cheaper than list price.

Thanks for your replies. Now time for some deciding. Gareth has come up with a Sony one I like the sound of.
