looking for a cheap cd head unit

steveo3002

wondered if anyone can suggest any trusted online car audio places that may have a cheap cd tuner headunit

ive googled and found a few...thought there maybe some others that dont google so easily

looking for a known brand name under £50 , already seen kenwood/pioneers at £45 ish...willing to get last years models if its cheaper

For an extra £30, you can get a Sony BTC-2500 that has built in Bluetooth and can be used as a handsfree for a bluetooth equipped mobile phone. Amazon sell car CD players.

ever used a lg one??

im not a brand snob , but wanted to stick to a known brand really

not worried about blue tooth etc ...its just for a old work banger that does a few miles

steveo3002

any ideas on pioneers...i see some of the lower end ones have hard wired remote volume...the rover its going in has steering wheel controls and it would be nice to wire that in too

I have this Pioneer which I bought from Argos a few months back for £80. I paid around an extra £15 to buy the stalk adapter from Halfrauds so I could use my stalk controls on my focus.

Definately worth the money. When I was choosing it was between Pioneer and Sony, chose Pioneer one because it has a USB input port.

Do not go near an LG. Absolute rubbish. Halfords stocked them last year and have dropped them this year for good reason.

if your looking for a cheap head unit for a car you only do a few miles in why not buy one from ebay second hand?
in the past ive bought 3 from there,all under 30 quid.and worked perfectly.(all for different vehicles)

steveo3002

well yes i started to look on ebay ...most seem to be around the 30£ something posted

i figured if i can get brand new for a couple of quid extra thats good peace of mind and i know its not gona turn up with the wiring harness or cage missing

I have noticed that ASDA Living and ASDA Wallmart Supercentre occasionally have the odd stereo cheap - could be worth a look if you have one nearby.

i always go for halfords or argos, they are always having half price sales, just make sre you dont get something that looks like a kebab shop at night, unless you like that sort of thing!
