Cheap car radio? - 306Puggy - 28-03-2013

Right now I've given up looking for an original radio because they are too expensive and shit anyway, plus the interior of my car hangs. So I want a cheap car radio that I can just slot in and not give a crap about it. I've looked in Argos and they are all £30+ so there must be somewhere cheaper than that to go.

Get on eBay and buy second hand

Get a sony cdx s2200, they are very good and basic!


RE: Cheap car radio? - 306Puggy - 28-03-2013

I had a look at that it's silver unfortunately =/ But thanks anyway.


RE: Cheap car radio? - r3k1355 - 28-03-2013

What colour are you after?


RE: Cheap car radio? - Toms306 - 28-03-2013

Does it matter what colour it is? Confused


RE: Cheap car radio? - 306Puggy - 28-03-2013

black goes with the interior.


RE: Cheap car radio? - Curt - 28-03-2013

But you want one for under £30? So can't exactly be picky... As said, get on eBay and see what you can get, which isn't a lot

Ill always recommend the lg LAC4700r ive had mine for like 6 years and love it, had loads of others but always seem to go back to this one


RE: Cheap car radio? - 306Puggy - 28-03-2013

They only had 1, for 50 quid! What about this one:

MP3 port, ideal! Looks quite snazy as well.


RE: Cheap car radio? - Oil-burner - 28-03-2013

Hmmm guessing it wont be great quality tbh!


RE: Cheap car radio? - Toms306 - 28-03-2013

You get what you pay for with stereos...the quality on that may not be the best....


RE: Cheap car radio? - Oil-burner - 28-03-2013

Ebay number 221206763430

Should be ok


RE: Cheap car radio? - 306Puggy - 28-03-2013

Beanie Hat? :S


RE: Cheap car radio? - 306Puggy - 07-04-2013

They have CD players in them which is no good. I want either a cassette playing one or one that I can plug my MP3 player directly into.


RE: Cheap car radio? - Piggy - 07-04-2013

theres loads around mate...I have bought numerous pioneer units with a cd changer plug for a tenner then a aux adapter to go in the cdchanger plug for a fiver and roberts your mothers brother


RE: Cheap car radio? - Willo - 07-04-2013

RE: Cheap car radio? - ashkid - 09-04-2013

i just threw out a sony black faced tape player with a cd changer


RE: Cheap car radio? - fuziduck - 09-04-2013

Tried a scrappy? They usually have stacks of them!


RE: Cheap car radio? - ashkid - 10-04-2013

ive got a standard pug cd player ?


RE: Cheap car radio? - 306Puggy - 25-04-2013

Right, plumped for a Sony cdx gt121 in the end, £15 pounds from the scrappy, bargain! Just need to sort out an aux adapter for 10 pounds, might as well have got the £30 pound MP3 one from eGay in the end anyway!

What's the secret to properly mounting these things anyway? The OEM pug bracket won't come out of the centre console, it appears to be wedged into the plastic somehow. Therefore I can't get the standard cage into it and therefore the radio is just slotted in and sagging down at the back.


RE: Cheap car radio? - Toms306 - 25-04-2013

You have to bend the old cage a bit to get it out. You should see where its catching if any of the tabs have been previously bent in.


RE: Cheap car radio? - 306Puggy - 25-04-2013

The trouble is I think there is a plastic sort of tab which is holding one end in position, the other end is free. I might have to break it out as long as I won't need it again lol! Thanks for the tip.


RE: Cheap car radio? - Toms306 - 25-04-2013

Oh, I've never had a ph1, maybe theyre different! But the ph3 is just a metal cage, in tight though.
