New stereo

[harry henderson]

After turning the stereo on in my Tuscan for the first time today I've decided it definitely needs replacing. I didn't even know they still made head units. Anyway, knowing nothing about them has anyone had one fitted recently? Is it alot of faff or do newer ones go in fairly easily?

I was thinking of something like this:

Nothing fancy as I never use it really.
Thanks.

I have one in my 360 as a stop gap, its rubbish, not intuitive, buttons too small, bluetooth clunky, phone inaudible to people on the other end. It works better if you use the app, but I would be inclined to avoid.

Its £109, you get what you pay for

Just installed a Pioneer SPH-20BT in mine - the one with the integrated phone holder. It works well and has the advantage that you can anchor your phone to use as a satnav. the only downside is the volume buttons are just that, not a rotary dial, but overall I''m pleased with it.

Konrod is bang on. DAB signal is great with just a standard aerial stuck under the dash. Works well with phone, sat nav, etc, etc. 100% recommend.

Me too - recently fitted and a good bit of kit for the price.
