Stereo replacement

[DoctorBonzo]

I swapped out the original pioneer unit for a DAB headhunt some years ago. The DAB never really worked properly but at least it had a USB port for iPhone connectivity. It also had terrible neon coloured lights at night, which although were dimmable, it was not possible to switch them off completely and drove me crazy. So, can anyone recommend a replacement headhunt that is bluetooth and not garish. Is DAB recommended or is standard FM better? I see some impressive pop-out satnav options for tuscans etc but I'm not sure they would look right in a chimaera. I would be grateful for some advice.

Look at the pioneer SPH-10BT, looks ok in the dash , I didn’t bother with the dab version as I cannot see it working very well in a plastic car. You can customise the led lighting to your colour choice and either have it flipped out or not. My main reason was having hands free for the phone and this unit is perfect.

I find Pioneer the less busy looking of the head units, nice sound too.

Another vote for SPH 10BT - phone holder great for sat nav app

Thanks for the recommendations and for the photo. That's a great looking unit and I am grateful to see it in the Chim dash.
Very reasonably priced too. I will get mine sorted soon

I have a pop out one in my Tuscan. I just wanted to mention that I got a windscreen mounted DAB aerial from Amazon for less than £10 and it works great, even without earthing it.

How do you get rid of the altitude meter on it
