DAB & Bluetooth headunit with phonebook access

Featured Replies

Do any of you know of a headunit that fits the following criteria:

 

DAB/DAB+

Bluetooth with phonebook access

CD

MP3/WMA

USB

Must be single DIN

 

Less than £200

 

Ideally with green back lighting to match the rest of the dash.

 

this looks to cover most of what you're asking for 

 

and you can change the illumination colour apparently £189

Doesn't 'quite' fit the bill because it won't do phone book access but I've had one of these for nearly a year now and it's been worth every penny! If I wanna ring someone on the go, I hit the home button and use Siri (similar search also works on Android as I recall if you have either of these) to find them, it's much easier than looking through phone book entries on either the phone screen in the cradle or on a single DIN fascia.

 

A word of warning though, you have to install the aerial perfectly for it to work and it's worth taking your time over it. Also, if you stick it to the windscreen like I did, when that little stone chip eventually turns into a 19" long glacier, you'll have to buy a new aerial because once they're on, they don't come off without being destroyed!

 

I got mine from Car Audio Security with the Bluetooth adapter. Had it in my Fabia for a bit and now it's in the Octy. The advantage of having it in the Fabia is that the 12V dimming signal works. There are 2 colour settings so that you can have it bright during the day and dimmed (both in any colour) when you flick the lights on. Doesn't work in my Octy because it's bloody CANBUS so there's no signal input  :doh:

I've got the KDC-BT73DAB in mine (Mk1 Octy VRS).. £149 from Amazon.

Superb little headunit.. full DAB+, BT streaming, iPhone pairing with phonebook access, SIRI works off the headunit etc.. and you can choose the illumination no problem.
