cut a short story even shorter..

left door open on car, came to it this morning no radio, no damage to the car at all apart from a scratched dashplate.

so im in need of another radio, i cant be arsed with anything too expensive now.. so i looked at this

http://www.clarion.com/gb/en/products/2008/audio/source_unit/1din/FB289RBT/gb-en-product-pf_1172387306118.html

any reccomendations?

oh edit...

it needs to have the line in at the back to allow me to use the ipod.

I looked at the spec of that expecting it to cost quite a lot, then looked it up on caraudidirect - thats cheap! Looks pretty good to me for the money tbh.

That will be pretty good for the bluetooth and external mic - won't be cheap though.

I have a £80 Kenwood headunit. Does WMA and MP3. No aux or other inputs, pretty basic. But it's like 2 years old and never gone wrong. Kenwoods now of similar price seem to have loads of addons etc plus they do quite a nice Bluetooth kit

My last THREE Kenwoods have all broken after a year or two - mainly on the d-mask parts - they just stop working, this includes the one I currently have the front panel can only be had in one postition or it turns itself off so I can't have it down enough to see what the buttons do.

I've just about had enough of Kenwood car audio, gonna look at Alpines although I have seen a very nice Pioneer (DEH-7000) that I might get, it can run my iPod touch and looks pretty handy.

Then I'll try and get some upgrades for the standard speakers for a bit more ooomph.
