Been to Halfords today and some cracking bargains there, few half price headunits with lots of bells and whistles in them.

Hope it's better than the one I just binned mate, I just couldn't get on with it.

I can't recommend that Sony enough mate, if you were looking to spend £100 on a head unit, you won't get better.

I looked at that Sony and Pioneer,back in the days u wouldn`t buy anythig good for less than £300,I rmember I paid £350 for my Pioneer 12years ago,it was good money back then.

Agreed. The Pioneer that went pop was £450 when new 5-6 years ago.

I've been told there's some software you can upload via bluetooth that opens up more options in the sound menu but I didn't investigate it further. Might be worth looking into.

The Sony is supposed to be £200 (1/2 price offer in Halfrauds) and if I'd paid the full price, I would still be impressed. And this one has a cd player.

Plus... since my phone is Sony, it wants to do all sorts of stuff when it connects. Must do some googling to work that lot out lol.

Discovered tonight that the new stereo reads my texts to me!

Got a bit of a shock when I was happily driving along, listening to the "tree mix" of the Cure song A Forest when this strange voice said...

"V70Graham..."

"I know mate"

Don't get me wrong, it's a great feature but it would be nice to have some warning lol.

pmsl, was it like a ghost prank ?

[M-R-P]

Lol, I probably shouldn't have mentioned it now I think about it. I just know some people are gonna wait till they know I'll be driving and deliberately send me stupid texts.

Gonna dig the manual out and work out how to turn it off haha.
