Decent Car Radio

Advantages: Easy to use, good features, cheap
Disadvantages: Manual could be better written

...* My story * I?ve been meaning to get a new car radio since I bought the car last September. The old one was very basic, just a radio with a cassette player. A few weeks ago, after a loud pop sound from the speakers, the radio suddenly stopped. I tried various things, including checking the ariel and even the fuse ? no joy ? so off to Halfords I went. I made a 'must-have' list and a 'nice-to-have' list in my head. Most people do a little research and write down what they want but not me. After all, it?s just a radio for the car, isn?t it? Must-haves are: Radio (obvious really but it?s a good start), CD (and why not), and not forgetting the most important item: cheap (under £100). Nice-to-haves are: MP3, radio/cd text, DVD player (no wait, scrub that, that?s for next time), USB (for listening to MP3 without having to write to...

Review of Kenwood KDC-W 3037

Digital radio for the car.

Advantages: Cheap upgrade.
Disadvantages: A bit fiddly to install.

...Great product but fitting it took a bit of figuring out. Managed it in the end though. I recommend it as it allows you to keep your existing in car stereo and add the additional functions of digital radio. It is well worth upgrding to as the FM radios are going to be phased out shortly. To buy one search on either ebay or amazon, they vary in price form around the £40 mark up to around £200. If you arent competent to fit it yourself it can cost about £50 fitting charge. It is a silver grey colour and should fit in with the interiors of most cars. I recommend you buy the pouch to store the head unit to prevent it scratching when you leave the vehicle. Thoroughly recommended and cheaper than buying a complete new digital stereo....

Review of Revo IN-CAR DAB Digital Radio

On the radio

Advantages: Bright, teaches animals sounds, ABC and 123
Disadvantages: On and off button in difficult place

...Last Christmas our daughter was only 3 months old and so we struggled finding toys that were actually suitable for her age and then we came across this one which is aimed at children from 3 months to 2 years. The toy is available in two different colour options, pink and primary colours and costs around £10 from many places such as Argos or Tesco. The toy as you would expect is made to look like a radio with a carry handle, the surround of the toy are covered in soft material with A B C and different shapes printed upon it, there is also a pretend aerial made of soft fabric and stuffed with some sort of foam. The on and off swtch is on the top of the radio underneath the handle which we found our daughter struggles to turn on even though she can easily turn on other toys and we believe this is due to the location of the button...
