Head unit recommendations

Guv · 19 Aug 2007 at 18:17

I'm looking to replace my existing head unit with one that has bluetooth built in to use with my mobile as hands free. I'd also like it to have a usb input.

Anyone got one they'd recommend?

thanks

JVC AVX-33 does all of those and more.

I have the AVX33 (jvc) nice unit, very clear screen, nice sound, its lovely having all the amount of music available to you.

But the USB implementation is poor, it takes ages to scan the drive and it does this everytime you switch to the USB input, quite annoying.

Bluetooth is excellent, except the SMS function doesnt work on all phones, doesnt with my P990I

Sorry for slight hijack but should be etting my first car in a month and maybe getting a new head unit.Was wondering what are Blaupunkt CD players like?
I have my eye on the Blaupunkt Hamburg one which has Bluetooth and can make calls.

I wonder if Microsoft will be doing a head unit version of the "Blue & me" system?

Boring but good quality units at good prices, i've had a Blaupunkt unit before and it sounded quite good

Yeah the looks of it is quite bland. For an extra £20 or £30 would you say going for this:
