hi guys, im fed up using cds with an old jvc headunit i got with the car i have and i was just looking for a cheap pioneer, alpine, etc one for aroud £60,

ive seen dvd jvc units going on ebay fairly cheap,

i know to stay away from any ripspeed dvd head units,

but if anyone can find something decect for under £60 for a headunit dvd, or a regular cd player with mp3/iphone/aux..

ill give you a cookie

I got a pioneer from halfords a couple of weeks ago €80 half price no CDs all USB and aux, so you can plug your iPod/phone in or a memory stick very good headunit! Worth saving an extra 20 quid in your case

this would do me http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350585978763 , but if anyone can find better for cheaper, i have till around 2pm tomorrow to order something, :)

i also have a small pioneer amp, got it with the car and had it hooked up to subs no problem.

ok guys, so should i just get the one in the pic.? i want it here soon so im gonna order by lunch ? will it be easy enough to fit ? ive not even checked out halfords yet.

i have no idea what the connections are like at the back, its a jvc unit, and its got no keys!

if i was to go to halfords, IF! would they fit it easy with no keys needed or buying apaptors i dont need ?

id rather fit myself, if its a simple case of removing wires/ plugs and replacing then fine.
