Budget Head Unit under £200
Discussion
After some advice, looking for a budget head unit up to £200.
Current considering kenwood KFC x5000bt, pioneer MVP x560bt or clarion fz502e.
Not fussed on dab as TVR has terrible reception but would need bluetooth so I can stream radio and music from my phone. Also would rather have something that's simple looking and not to chav like. Will be un amplified running to infinity kappa 2ways
Cheers guys

I got this, which I think is the one up on your suggestion:
http://www.pioneer-car.eu/eur/products/mvh-x580dab
Not currently got a DAB aerial on it, but it plays FM fine. The winner for me was being able to change the screen colour to match the dash, iPhone & spotify compatibility.
Sound quality is a big step up from the old kenwood it replaced, too.

I know you've said you're not interested in DAB, but I bought a JVC kd-db97bt recently and am happy with it. Pretty much fully featured and a decent price at just over £120. The only criticism so far is that the sticky pad on the base of the microphone was pants and didn't stick at all, so replaced that with some 3M sticky tape.
Pioneer is a good shout.
That said I would seriously consider amplifying your Infinity Kappa 2 Ways. Otherwise I reckon you would get better results from a decent stock set of speakers ; they are far more efficient than aftermarket coaxials/components which require amplification to get good results.

Happy with my new purchased :
£105 from Halfords, and a stick on window aerial
BT700dab

No complaints one the Telephone quality, and the unit uses Siri well. Streams etc, and not 'horrid'
