Recommend me a car stereo

[seany87]

I cant live with the standard OE radio in my EP3 Civic Type R anymore. I would like to replace it and hope that this is the subforum for a good recommendation:

Must haves:

CD player
Orange backlight
Clock/ time
Cheap as possible!
Smart, understated looks

Would like, but not essential:

USB
Bluetooth

Things that aren't important:

Colour of the unit (black, silver etc)
Brand name
Power or features other than what I have mentioned above
Single / double din
New or 2nd hand (provided 2nd hand ones have no blemishes etc)

Definately don't want:

Anything that looks chavvy, like it belongs from Halfords own brand, with dancing dolphin displays etc
Anything that flips up/ opens

Do you reckon a headunit like what I am after can be found?? I'm having trouble hence the cry for help!

For just over £84 you could have one of these...

I'm selling a very similar one: https://www.gumtree.com/p/in-car-audio-gps/kenwood...

Can do a PH discount at £60, inc delivery, if you're interested. Only had it 3 months, just got rid of the car I had it hooked up to. Works perfectly

That looks ok, some nice features, thanks for the suggestion. Still open to others if anyone else can chip in?

This seems to fit the bill, aside from Bluetooth support. Right colour scheme. Only £59 also.

Or this, if Bluetooth is more important to have. http://www.halfords.com/technology/car-audio/car-s...

Does it light up orange? I'll have a research later tonight when I get in from work, cheers

Alpine kit's usually pretty good, and most of their models come with different colour/customisable backlights.
