Halfrauds are stupidly overpriced in every single department...don't bother going there for a headunit..try http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/home.html

£120 for this and I have it in my car.

Works a treat and does exactly what you want it to do:

Kenwood KDC-BT8044U, £199.99 from Car Audio Direct :y:

Has full iPod/iPhone control from the headunit, and features a built in Parrot handsfree system with external mic.

Never actually tried this headunit, but the missus has the non bluetooth version which has been faultless for the last year shes had it, and i've also got a Kenwood headunit and thats been faultless for the last 18 months.

Both have loads of features that really allow to to dial in your audio system :y:

I also want to know what its like to use as i'm planning on getting one for my next car ;)

the link I put above for a head unit, is really good.

All you have to do is connect your phone to it's bluetooth and away you go.

You can one minute be playing your music and it cuts out when you get a call and press a button and ta-dah you are connected. Theres a mic on the unit and the sound is coming out of your speakers, also good for playing music from your phone :D

I've got the sony blue tooth one in that link although it's mic is built into the head unit.

It's a unit and bluetooth with the phone is fine unless you have the window open, although sometimes have to shout.

I got it for £130 from Halfrauds although think they're went up to £150 for some reason.

Edit mine might be a little different to the one in the link.

They are at £120 at the moment. It's easy to use. Plus has the output for subs, some don't. Found that out before lol
