Head unit recommendation

Phate · 9 Mar 2014 at 17:35

Hi all,

Looking for a head unit for the gf's car.

I want a DAB radio with antenna included and aux in on the front to connect her phone up.

Budget wise, £50-£100?

Single din only

TIA
Jake

I've got a Sony unit that I bought from Halfords for about £100 2-3 years ago, it's been superseded by a newer model so can't recommend that one from personal experience but it does appear to get good reviews - Sonys tend to be consistent enough. Check that it comes with an internal DAB aerial (mine did but I recommend you fit an external one no matter what HU you get).

Newer unit:

Can't speak from personal opinion as I wanted a HU that did USB and bt only, but this one seems to tick many boxes...

I like the dual USB, so you can route a lead to the glovebox for stealth iPod connection and such.

Thanks guys, I found the Sony above on caraudiodirect.co.uk for £99 with a windscreen antenna which is £19 on its own, so have ordered that one
