Pioneer is my choice mate. Great head units especially the one you have listed. There is also a similar one which has red lights rather than blue if you prefer. Think its the one I am going for..........Pioneer DEH-P3100UB

Hey Wazzer i definitely recommend the Pioneer, i have a very similar one in my Leon ... but i still haven't gotten round to getting the Stereo Fascia replaced ... have a look at my Cardomain page ... link just below

Nice one didnt realise you could get it with red lights cheers mate.

A cool £280.00 :whistle

You can get them for £230.00 now.

They are cheaper on eBay, from china, but use the Chinese wire harness, and requires major ball ache to make it work. (some one on here bought on recently)

Have they got parrot built in like the others im looking at?

 

[MrBen2k7]

Built in blue-tooth. Mine connects to my hands free dongle thing no problem.

The box says its Parrot compatible.

I always had Alpines before, but recently I bought a 2010 model Pioneer for my Cupra.

Red lighting matches the dash nicely and the sound quality is superb - i'm really impressed with it.

I have a Kenwood KDC-W7544U which is similar to the KDC-BT8044U you're looking at but it doesn't have Bluetooth. It's great for iPod control though, so I would recommend it for that.

What model did you buy? And how much was it?

Yeah im mainly after one which is good for ipod control, plus with parrot built in i can lose my seperate parrot.

Mine is a DEH-3200UB with ipod control, got it for £108 I think.

You can get the one with bluetooth too, DEH-6200BT, but it's going to be a bit more than that.

I have this one too, colour match is perfect...

The BT40 model of this has the bluetooth built in else you can get the Bluetooth kit for it separately

Yeah the colour match is spot on. Looking at the Kenwood KDC-BT8044U that wazzer was asking about though, it says the colour is just blue, i.e. not colour changing like ours.

Nice choice of music!
