Car stereo recommendations

ganesh · 15 Apr 2008 at 23:30

Hello chaps, I am in need of some kind of new fancy stereo full of wizadry and magic. Need to have one with bluetooth for handsfree and audio streaming with my nokia n95 8gb, and cd, and decent sound quality. Max of around £170ish. I'm a bit clueless when it comes to cars. Can anyone recommend one?

Any help is much appreciated.
I apologise if this is in the wrong section.

you're pretty safe with anything by pioneer or alpine in that price range

ok, i'll have a look at what's available from them. Also, is installation going to be relatively easy?
Would be putting it into a v reg 1.4 clio. Have read about it a little bit, i thought it would be a simple plug and play, but then i came across things such as mounting kits and what not.

On the clio it will be remove old stereo, slide new one in, as its standard size.

the only issues that might arise are the loom matching up, I recently had to fit a stereo on my mates older car and we couldn't be bothered searching for a loom that matches the two so I just ended up cutting and joining all the wires to fit the new loom, pretty easy job

On the wifes X reg clio, so same version as the OPs it was all ISO standard.
