[frenchieg]

Just wondering if anyone has got preferences on a head unit for octy mk1? Would like a double din with possibility to watch dvd and connect to phone to display internet content.

Any ideas as I have no idea what js good or if adapters etc are required

Cheers

Happy New Year

Double din goes straight in ( just cut a H Shape brace out for more rear room )

Pioneer are good options for double din dvds mate

Id nose pioneers or alpine

Whats the budget ?

Good times lloydy!!??

Budget wise I'm not sure. I know thats not much help but I wouldn't be able to say if spending say £200 would get me something decent or that I would have to spend over £400!? Not touched ICE upgrades for over 10years.

I've been reading gee mans project thread which is out of this world and something like what he's got looks about right??

Seen your input into that also lloydy and I'd be happy for you to work on my car ;-)

He he not in todays state

Id be asleep in it........

Pioneers offer some nice sneaky function that get good results from lower power systems tbh

Are you worried about dab ?

Or just bluetooth and dvdness

Pioneer AVH4400 bt gets my vote. An awesome double din unit with Blue Tooth. Couple that with a Brodit dash mount for your phone and away you go.

[frenchieg]

What phone you using with that?

Although that looks perfect, I'm looking a little further south of £500

Good shout but it doesn't look like it's app compatible so wouldn't be able to surf net via my phone internet!? A feature I want really

Good price though.

Thanks for info

With all the functions you want you'll be looking at £300 at least.
