RickH Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Well guys, i decided i need to get a new headunit for my new Escort, my budget, for the headunit alone, is about £230 at the max. Any good recommendations ? I listen to Hip-Hop and fancy an Alpine, but theres so much to choose from, just need a few recommendations ? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simick1712 Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 I got meself one of these: Pioneer DEH-P5500MP which I really rate. Also, if you're not too bothered about the MP3 capability, there's a similar model which looks a bit better but can't play MP3's: Pioneer DEH-P6500R Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickH Posted March 28, 2004 Author Share Posted March 28, 2004 you mean it wont play mp3 directly, or .mp3 files from a CD ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simick1712 Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 The 5500MP can play .MP3 and .WMA files that have been burned onto a CD (ie about 150 songs on one CD ) but the 6500R can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 (edited) mike is that from any ICE retailer, or did you get a "special" price?http://www.cel-direct.com/detail.asp?ProductID=3389 tis only £234 though???? There u go then, only £4 over ur budget online I got mine from The Car Audio Centre in Wolverhampton, they get some good deals from Sony and others on speakers and are VERY cheap, looks like not so much so on their headuinits, but that's an OK price, think its £260 from Bass Junkies or £250 special online price if u buy online, but there u go for £234 from there, but dunno what u pay for postage, i'm assuming u do, but no that wasn't a "special" price mate EDIT: nope, tis £260 there too, u not gonna beat that £234.99 anywhere Edited March 29, 2004 by Mike C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
