Darkside TT Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Ok.... so im looking for a new head unit for the install. needs to have 3 RCA outs. Single din apart from that im open to suggestions. I listen to the radio a lot and have a large collection of music on my Iphone (Iphone 5 so has the lightning connection) not sure what else i really need, its very nice having all the latest gadgets on a head unit but tbh i dont think id use them. maybe blue tooth as i dont think there are head units out atm with Lightning connectivity for my iphone. Not fussed on make, so let me know what you have or what youve seen. dont want to spend a mortgage payment either. maybe £200 CheerZ Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardS Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 My advice - get a head unit that is also DAB enabled..... You'll regret it if you don't...:wink: I have this one in my ZX - but with the optional Bluetooth unit added - and I am very pleased with it: http://www.roadradio.com/Kenwood/KDC-DAB4551U/?gclid=CMSBh-OQnLoCFRMftAod8QkALQ Very good DAB reception; works well with music stored on an 8g USB stick and the hands free phone addition is very handy!!

Darkside TT Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Jesus the bluetooth bit is just as must as the head unit lol...... Does look like a good unit though, but alas it only has 1 RCA out :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Brock Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Solid state, mechless thing. Drag and drop music to an sd case and away you go. I got a cheap Clarion one. Can't fault it for simplicity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does look like a good unit though, but alas it only has 1 RCA out :( Is it...??? I bought the whole lot back in May 2011 - head unit, DAB aerial and Bluetooth kit for about £170... And the head unit was brand new on the market back then!! There is an upgraded model out now, I believe - that might have the 3 RCA outs you require! Richard Quote I have something to say............

Lexx Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 damn that Kenwood unit is nice for a single DIN.
