Hello all - i'm in an undecisive whimper of a mood the last few weeks, and don't know what to do with regards to ICE for the MG.
I shall explain what i have:
In the car -
A Cheapie Panasonic CQC1021 CD Tuner from the previous owner.
In the House (from old car) -
A Vietta 4070 Amplifier (3-2-1 Channel amp?, can run 2 speakers and subwoofer)
A Blaupunkt TSW1200 12" Subwoofer, in ported box.
An Ipod Mini
What i would like to have is some system where i have Front Components and subwoofer powered off the Amplifier, and some form of Ipod Integration. This will require without a doubt, a new headunit as the current one has only 1 Pre-out and no Aux Connection (i think!). I have seen the Alpines Headunits, the Harmon Kardon 'Drive and Play' and they all look very nice.
I was quoted £400 including installation for a Blaupunkt Headunit, some front components running off my amp, an aux cable, and my sub/amp all connected up.
Problem is, i dont really have the luxury to spend away £400 in the one go at the moment, but i am utterly fedup with the current situation in the MG. The Headunit is horrible and intermittantly fails, whilst the speakers are tinny and useless. I dont have the luxury of fitting the ICE myself (i'm useless, tried before in previous car and gave up) - although i probably could install a Headunit as the ISO adapter is presumably already connected. I could really do with a suggestion as what to do, because i'm feeling useless at the moment.
Many thanks
Adam

Any suggestions for components between 100-150?
