Hey guys and gals,

Im gonna be in the market to upgrade my stereo over the next few months, and the first thing that has to be changed is my crappy pioneer head unit (which is mostly in japanese so cant understand what the hell im doing!!)

What websites do people recommend?
Im preferably looking for an alpine unit, as I swear by them, and have in the region of £200-300 to spend.

Also, if I change my head unit will I still need to use a radio band expander thingy in order to pickup uk radio stations?

cheers

single DIN mate, nothing fancy like DVD etc, just a good clear sounding cd player. Preferably with in built amp so I dont have to run an amp to start with

i work at a car audio shop mate, called ultimate in car

website - ultimateincar.co.uk

although thats currently being upgraded.

what are you looking for in terms of your headunits? we have just got the new range of alpine headunits in

the cde 105 is the best 'normal' headunit out at the moment and in that price range, otherwise i'd recomend the 104 or 103

cool, cheers.

I wanna buy from tinternet really, as its usually cheaper. Cant be doing with dealing with the likes of halfrauds and similar as they tend to just mess you around and i'd probly come out with my blitz ecu missing, turbo timer opeing the windows and alarm squirting my washer jets in my eye :freddy:

Personally I would go for something like an Alpine. If you are after a kenwood on the other hand, try this site out. www.justkenwood.co.uk It's all kenwood stuff but it is dirt cheap. I bought my first headunit from them and I definitely recommend them.

Ok cheers for the replies lads, I shall have a butchers on there.

Just been reading up as well, and if I buy a new head unit I shouldn't need a radio band expander so thats all good. Respect I mean rep out to you all :p
