Hi, I'm after a double DIN stereo for my EP3 Civic. I haven't bought a stereo since my teenage years so am a bit out of touch.
Need a fairly simply one that's easy to navigate round and must have Bluetooth and sync with a IPhone, preferably can play DVD's and have DAB. It doesn't need sat nav. Budget 200-250 ideally.
Any recommendations. cheers

Slightly over budget but Pioneer appradio are pretty good. Basically duplicate all your phone functions onto the screen.

No CD player or DAB but assuming you have songs/films on your phone and data for streaming you can get around that.

FTFY Looks pretty much Iphone specific....great if you have one, not so much if you don't!

Actually the previous model was better with Android. There is an app called arliborator (I think) which will exactly duplicate your phone to the screen.

Rather a coincidence!

I couldn't find this section but I need one of these too.

I have an android smartphone an iPod and an iPad.

I want one that works with an iPod and can use the iPad or smartphone for navigation.

I have the previous version. The reality really doesn't meet the expectation. It works, sort off, most of the time. I am going back to a normal head unit. That was with Android, Apple would probably be better integrated.
