Any Alpine or Pioneer are good, just pick one that best suits your requirements. Any particular needs? If you stretch a little more you'll get a few more extras if you need them.

i dont agree, CD's skip alot.. esp with a good sub. and a usb stick will hold hundres of cd's.

im prity sure you would need an Interface to get the blutooth working so your looking at an extra £50++

If your cds are skipping you havent fitted your HU properly.

This is a bit more expensive but it's one hell of a piece of kit for the money IMO:

Read the specs, bargain. And better SQ than Sony.

Thanks for the suggestions but one of my mates has that one i cant be seen as copying him haha, and im sure he got it a lot cheaper than that, and to be honest its nothing special.

Oh and i want a cd player just because its easier when you get friends in who want to put their cd on
