I need a new car stereo

Recommended Posts

I'm in the market for a new stereo for the family bus - a Nissan Largo.

 

I've got a mucho cheapo Craplins DVD player fitted at the moment, and I want to fit something decent, not competition standard, but I want reasonable quality and a few must have features as well as the normal am/fm rds etc.

 

So, MUST HAVE's:

 

Double DIN fitting, I won't even consider anything single DIN.

Touch screen control with removable screen

DVD R, RW, CD-R, CD-RW CDMP3 player

USB and/or SD card slots.

Play MP3, WAV, AVI, DivX, etc, etc, etc

Show tag information on the screen

Internal amp for main speakers, with external connections for sub amps etc

DUAL ZONE, i.e. DVD playing in the rear on headphones for sound, radio or CD playing on the main speakers.

MUST play DVD on the move without modifications, some don't (i.e. Pioneer AVIC range)

 

 

 

WOULD BE NICE:

 

Hard drive

Remote control so the kids in the back can control the DVD

Rear camera connection with reverse gear switching and manual selection

Bluetooth for the mobile phone

Selectable colour scheme

Update-able firmware

 

 

NOT REQUIRED but wouldn't stop me from buying it, I just wouldn't use them.

 

Anything "i"

Sat nav

Internet connection

 

 

My budget just for the head unit is up to £500, though I might be able to go a bit higher if I save up a few more weeks

 

 

I've been looking at Pioneer, Kenwood, Alpine, etc, etc, but it's been years since I had anything to do with decent car audio, so has anyone got any advice/pointers ??

Found these three you might be interested in, all in Halfords though

 

£486 pound Alpine

Seems to have most of what you want

 

£499 Zenec

Never hered of the name but saw one in our local Halfords and was impressed!

 

£606 Zenec

My favourite, bit over your budget but considering its just been reduced from £999.................WOW!
