159 Stero

[SKP555]

I'm looking at replacing the bog standard radio/CD in my 2007 159 (it doesn't have blue and me) and wondering what people recommend.

I'm not massively into my music so the standard speakers and stuff are perfectly good and sound quality is not my main concern, though obviously better is better.

Main priority is Bluetooth for phone and media streaming, and ideally GPS on screen. I would really like to keep the steering wheel controls and dash display if possible.

So far I've looked at:

Cheap Chinese ones which have everything for under £200 but heard a couple of horror stories too.

Brand ones (Kenwood, JVC, Sony, Alpine, Clarion etc) which seem to be minimum £500 for what I want.

Then this sort of thing

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ALFA-ROMEO-159-2-DIN-car...

which seems to be made for the car, however despite having picture of a nice looking new reader the advert is mostly nonsensical to me. Does this just plug straight in and replace the original?


Any recommendations? Am I missing something or just being too cheap in thinking that £500 is a lot of money for a stereo and GPS?

I'm Android but it looks like they do a similar version for that.

Thanks
