The one in Virginia Water (used to be Thames Car Radio) has now gone into receivership - pity, they've been around a long time. Is there another reasonably close? - I know there has been a thread on this, but I can't find it ..
thanks

I have a few dealing with them..

http://www.uniquecarsound.com/main.php?mode=flash

They looked over the stuff in my vovlo for free including taking all the trim out to advise me what i needed to get the thing working properly.. they are not keen on working with volvos with the CANBUS network. BMW, Mercs they can do. But Volvos are a pain in the backside and they wont touch em.

Surrey Car Radio in Ashford, Middx.

and also Car Audio Security in Hayes, Middx.

Both very helpful, and good prices.

Too late but if Wycombe wasn't too far I'd suggest The Sound Gallery

Another vote for Unique in Lightwater. Mike (the older guy) and Tim (his son) are both great - they fitted the audio in my old S2000, my Scoob and my fiance's Landcruiser, we've known them years.

If you pop in tell them I sent you !

They'll spend time discussing options, and they've always done a good job for me.

+1 for Unique - Mike is a really genuine guy and I was very happy with the whole service thumbup

Had an Alpine CDE 114-BTI fitted to the Chim, plus 2 x JL 5 inchers in the doors and a pair of 6x9 JL's in the rear - £620 fitted. This means I'm now able to play my MP3 and charge my iPhone, hear music over the noise of my burbley exhaust (IF I feel the need!) and even take a phone call via Bluetooth blabla - although this may have been a little bit excessive with my inner-Engineer taking over (I tend to be able to hear people more than they can hear me - apparently there is a lot of background "noise" hehe)
