New HU, quick response needed

[grantsmith1985]

Right, my Head Unit is fudged. Does as it wants and thats not a lot, lol.
As I am sure a lot of you know it is really hard to drive with out music. Any way to the point, what do you people think of this Sony HU and for the same sort of price (thats my limit really) what other HU are there worth considering?

Sony CDX-M7850 (http://www.bassjunkies.com/index.php?cpage=product/browse_detail.php&area=shop&category_id=82&sub_category_id=30&manufacturer_id=498&product_id=31305&return_link=%2Findex.php%3Fmode%3D%26cpage%3Dprodu ct%2Fbrowse_category.php%26area%3Dshop%26pg%3D3%26 orderby_field%3D%26orderby_sort%3D%26category_id%3 D82%26sub_category_id%3D%26manufacturer_id%3D%26li mit%3D10%26min_val%3D181%26max_val%3D250%26show_my _car%3D%26aperture_id%3D&source=category)

my advise mate would be to stay away from sony i used to have a sony head unit and it broke within the 1st 2 months of having it.

but its donw to what you want and like at the end of the day

[grantsmith1985]

Nice but really £220 is my limit. Pain in the ass coz I was going to get the bumpstrips colour coded all round on monday, cant do it now unless I carry on listening to music I cant control.

[Scott]

Personally i dont rate sony car audio stuff much, but at end of the day if you like it get it smileys/happy.gif

Some others:

JVC one (http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/index.php?cPath=2&cadid=f11182488d7b2eb4a2bb495879fac318)

fantastic pioneer one (http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=2381&cadid=f11182488d7b2eb4a2bb495879fac318)

Kenwood (http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/3287.html)

Which one looks best

[dsh85]

couldnt find that site! id say kenwood mate always been good to me and looks nice

[rsands]

i don't what people have against sony head units...they are fantastic for the price!

i got the Sony NC-9950 and ok yes its £400 but it is amazing! the screen is outstanding, plays full colour DVD's through it as backgrounds! allows digital cameras to be linked to it...i think Sony stuff is brilliant!

ok there subs and speakers aren't the best but for a head unit i would recommend sony!

[S9_DAN]

I have the Sony MX8800 or summit like that and i have had it for 2 years almost and it is fine i love sony head units, they come with a warranty anyway so if it did go you can get it fixed for free smileys/smiley4.gif

[KAMENi]

GO FOR THE PIONEER smileys/smiley2.gif


i own a DEH-P6700MP model, and i'm very satisfied with it

[Yates]

I would have to say the pioneer matey as i have one and there very good!!

[grantsmith1985]

I have got the sony CDX-M800 at the moment and that is the one that is poked. I htink the Pioneer is going to be a go ahead. Annoyed though coz now I have to wait until next month to colour code everything smileys/smiley7.gif

[Jungle_Jim]

what about this alpine HU, ive got one along wiv a few other ppl on here and they are excellent, but maybe a bit pricey

[saxx]

my sound guy toldm e sony were poo head units - but we all have them and not one has had an issue!!

my mums got the posh black screen i think its the 5500 or somethin and its still gooing 3 yrs on!!

im getin the alpine with pink lights next woo!

i personally wouldnt have kenwood or pioneer!

ALPINE seem to b good quality no matter how cheap they are!

[roc_a_fella]

see if you can pick up a sony mex-1hd from somewhere. ive got one and its the best headunit ive ever had. i also always buy sony and have never had any problems

[grantsmith1985]

Right I am more broke then I wish to be as I gotta buy a 1300w wiring kit. I jsut ordered this because it looks like the ebst value for money and this way I can maybe still afford to colour code everything on the car.
