Wink 
Looking to change my head unit, any suggestions on a decent budget headunit with no cd player? Only use usb, aux and SD card. Thanks Smile

Mine was from Halfords £80. Radio, cd, aux, sd card, USB, Bluetooth and hands free with mic and there was also a little remote with it. Sendai something.

Go for what you would use,

I have from and rear USB and aux, only use the rear USB so the other 3 are useless but i paid extra for it. Tbh it was a steal though Smile

I used to have an Inphase 100-ssd in only old 106, I thought it was awesome but im just gutted it hasn't got a rear aux. I've currently got a jvc but it feels flimsy and cheap even thought it was 90 quid new

Depends on your budget and what you want it to do, I usually go for alpine.

Stay away from sony! Get kenwood, alpine or pioneer. If your budget is slightly tighter, JVC arnt too bad.
Really, we need to know what your budget is so we can recommend something.

Halfrauds £56 deal for a pioneer thing, glows red, plays music, good enough

Look for a second hand Alpine. I bought mine used and it's been fine for over two years.

over your budget slightly but i know a few on here have this, my self included and for the money, it is a very very good head unit!

Ive got an LG job, my mum bought it from halfords when i passed my test so you can imagine how old it is.
Had others but always end up putting it back in because its bang on

I've got 2 Alpine IDA X001's for both mine now, I love them. I'd recommend having a hunt around, but I can't really see anything better for under £80. The one Niall linked is also highly rated... I was looking for one but new was out of budget. I'm an Alpine man myself

I've had an old school alpine head unit for nearly 5years and it sounds amazing.

I'd Deff recommend any top end alpine.

Alpine IMHO but i'm severely bias as i think they the best but you do pay a pretty penny for them. Second would be Pioneer as their budget range is quite frankly awesome for the price. Third Kenwood and never sony or any others lol. this is all my opinion btw don't take it as gospel lol

Preowned is a good way to go check ebay you can get a high end older unit for peanuts and high end is always better then budget
