What do you think of that head-unit?
I've currently got the standard Beta system!
That looks damn amazing! I'm in love with it, and i simply cant think of anything that can replace it!
EDIT:- Just realised, i cant see weather it supports mp3
Does ne1 know of a similar design which supports mp3 aswell?

cheers!

o ok! how old is this unit?
does it have enough bass?
I've seen it for £150, is it worth it?
My budget is about £150-£200
So if someone could recommend a nice head-unit!
I've got sony in mind, and then pioneer, clarion or rockford fosgate (Bein the most expensive)

i think the headunit is fairly new, i bought it in january and it was a new model then. but it is not listed in the newest sony mobile brochure
i think it has nice bass, but i can't really tell because i'm running standard speakers

but i have noticed a great amount of increase in sound quality when upgrading from the beta.
can't say anything about the prices as i don't really know the market over there, but compared to how much i got mine for, it looks like a good bargain!
i would advise you look through the new sony models first before going for this one. there's a model called cdx-m8800 which has a buttonless display like this and mp3. plus i think it looks a lot better and will suit the dash better because it's not shiny like ca900.
i hope this helps!

£213, for the one you recommend!
I saw a photo of the unit, when it's powered off! The thing is, you can see the blue dials or what not behind it, so i didn't really like it! It looked cheapy!!!
I'm interested in the rockford fosgate, i just found the bottom of the range one, for about £218!!!
You cant call it bottom of the range though, since it is rockford fosgate we're talking about!
EDIT:- How about this, ALL IN ONE! looks good!

Get one of the pioneers.
either the MP-7400 or the replacement 7600 i think.
Both MP3 compatible and damn good for the money.
i used to have the 7400.

Sony? Pioneer? No!
The quality of both is awful, I wouldn't go near them with a bargepole!
Got enough money for an Alpine?
