“To start off...you have to understand I am a numpty when it comes to electrical stuff.This head unit was a simple 5 minute install due to the fact my previous unit was a JVC. The ISO connector made the swap really easy. The cage slotted in perfectly and holds the radio firm. The integral trim piece makes the final look very neat.The radio is smart, has good functions and at a very reasonable price. I particularly like the facility to play music from my android phone via the USB facility.”

“I bought this unit for my Mk1 roadster to replace it's native Japanese unit (would only tune in radio 2!) - and the CD was starting to jump, plus I have recently put my music on an ipod.I also chose it because it has the option of green illumination to match my Mk1 dash. You can change it to pretty much anything, mine is a mix of Orange and Pink currently.It charges the ipod when connected - and works well with it - except you have to perch the ipod somewhere, and remember its connecting cable. I actually prefer to have a good selection of music on a large capacity (but small sized) USB key - sorted. You skip through floders/albums using the up/down keys - and skip through tracks using the left/right keys (control is a bit on the small side - but I have got used to it). Important to keep your eyes on the road - not the stereo of course!I was also hoping the unit would produce a deep rich bass - it has plenty of power and sounds fantastic - but at higher volumes it is really showing up my speakers as the rubbish they really are - so I'm planning to fit some better speakers and proper dampening material for a better bass response. At one stage I was thinking about getting a separate power amp - but I with properly installed speakers and this unit, don't think i'm going to need it.The EQ is very good by the way - you can easily change the bass/mid/and treble if you want to.The unit is expandable - it seems you can add extras like DAB/Bluetooth later if you want.Overall, I think its a brilliant unit and very good value - highly recommended.”
