Advice on new HU pls.

looking for a new headunit as my current Kenwood W7027 keep skipping etc, and the folding mechanism is buggered.
im wanting to spend around 100-150 ish. CD, MP3 and ipod compatible is a must. CD changer is a bonus
cheers

and MP3 quality can be awful.
as i said, changer is just a bonus

I have an alpine unit you can have mate. Its a 9855r top of the range unit. over £250 new. It come with an ipod adaptor also, which allows you to charge the ipod, and also control it via the HU.
It will also take a cd changer, but i never found the need for it, due to the ipod capability.
You can have it all for £160 posted

It is an awesome unit mate! Its got a glide bar as well, which means you can slide your finger accross the bar to scroll through songs.
Its in pretty much mint condition. Threw the box out i think, maybe not though. Still got instructions for it though. No warranty anymore i dont think though. Comes with wiring.
Yes, its got 3 band radio with hundreds of presets!
