Headunit with rear USB?

tigerstyle · 21 Apr 2009 at 19:55

I'm looking to buy a fairly budget Headunit, but would like one with a rear USB so I can plug in an SD Card in a dongle and use it that way, don't want a USB cable trailing out the front of the dash all the time really. And the units with SD card slots in the front are all a bit pap/pricey unless someone can recommend a decent one here?

Chers!

Have a look at the Alpine IDA X series HU's. Brilliant for Ipod and USB playback but No CD player though

I have a Blaupunkt Queens MP56. Fits your description, has rear USB, plus CD if the front is slid down.

Bout £120, not sure if you can still get it, they do a few with SD card slots in too:

My Pioneer is just that, £100 too and looks sleek, the USB stick sits in the glovebox as if it were made for it!

The colour combos for buttons and display shown are only a few there are more colours to choose from on the unit.

that volume control looks fiddly?

Not found it fiddly at all, it's nothing like Kenwood knobs for example.

Tactile feedback and pretty solid/stiff in movement.
