I'm hoping you will be gentle with me. I'm no audiophile, but I need a new stereo for the car.
I don't need a CD, DVD, GPS, and I defiantly do not need some f*ing disc light thing flashing at me.
Mostly I'll be listening to music or other stuff on the phone and planet Rock on DAB would be nice.

So at £100 odd there is Pure, Kenwood BT502DAB, PIONEER MVH-X580DAB and a few others.

I guess I would pay a but more, but given my Luddite ears and tastes, is there any point.

Any recommendations?
Cheers

Are you looking at single din headunits? Or something to use with your existing set up?

single DIN,
replacing the current unit as some sh*t nicked the face plate for the current one.

I've got DAB in my work van and spent nearly £100 on an aerial trying to get a decent reception, its pretty poor and very patchy, I get better results streaming via internet radio via my phone to the car via Bluetooth.

I fitted one of these & find it's been great when I'm heading off to trackdays

I've found the sticky screen aerials to be pretty good.
