I bought this car stereo around 2 years ago for my car as I wanted something that sounded better than the standard stereo. I bought mine from Motor-mania for around £150.LCD blue screen and reads out what ever it is playing at the time. I think it has really good quality sound even when the volume is on high. It plays any CDs including MP3 and even ones that are slightly scratched play just as well on this CD player.
Features
MP3/WMA Playback with ID3 Tag CD-R/CD-RW Compatible Aux Input 3 Band parametric equalizer Selectable loudness feature Dual Pre-outs
It also has traffic announcement features, preset channel memory and auto/manual frequency search.
It came with a handy remote control so that even passengers in the back can pick what to have on the stereo.
This stereo can also be removed from the car via its front when its not in use making you car less of a target to car theives.
Price & Availability
When I bought this it was around £150, they no longer sell this model in such shops as Halfords or Motor-mania but I'm sure it could be purchased online for around £80 or less. The best place to try and find one of these would be eBay, even though these CD players are not sold anymore they are still very good quality stereos and are just as good as ones that have come out more recently.
Looks, Styling & Usability
I think this is a really good looking stereo it is easy to see in the dark as it lights up blue and has a red surround to the volume control, the only problem I've had with this stereo is the chrome effect has come off from around the volume control button. The buttons are well spaced and simple to understand even without reading the instruction book it can be worked out very quickly and easily, all though it does come with a brilliant detailed instruction book on how everything works, what best suits the music you are playing and how to set it up and use all the features the stereo has. It was easy to install to the car coming with the cage that holds it in, only took around 5-10 minutes to do this. I would definitely recommend this stereo as an upgrade from standard ones as I love mine and wouldn't change it for any of the ones more recently produced.
