Car CD Radio

I'm looking to purchase a car radio with CD for my better half within the next month.

I was thinking of a budget of about £100, which would have to include fitting as I do not want to make a mess of things!!

I think a CD multi changer would be to much, although if I could get a good deal I would pay slightly more.

I had a look at Halfords last night but the range does not appear very good.

Does anybody have an idea where I should start my search.

The car it would be going in is a Honda Accrord.





Thanks


Martin
Been there, done that, now I want to do it cheaper!!

    have a look on ebay for new stereos. and if your not too confident get it fitted locally,also get the autoleads wiring adaptors from ebay,much cheaper than buying at halfords.
    ive bought a few second hand stereos off ebay over the past few years and all have been great.
    is it just cd player and radio? or do you want aux inputs and usb ports?
    if its just cd and radio im sure you will find a half decent one for around £60 on ebay.

    I can recommend an MP3 compatible player, my Sony only cost £60, and I can get 10 hours of music on one cd.

    Such as this one on Halford's site :- Sony CDX-GT23 CD/MP3 Player Half price store fitting ONLY £19.99
    Halfords exclusive CD player with front Aux-in
    £69.99
    WAS £99.99

    CD changers are so 1990s. As Belnahua recommends, you want one with a front aux in and an iPod/Non-Apple MP3 player.
