Cheaper if you buy through

or click

to go straight to basket.

Does anyone have any experience with them?


Not specifically, although I don't have a great opinion of the low-end
blaupunkt stuff.

If I were you I'd get the kenwood from caraudiodirect (or incarexpress)
instead.

Alternatively pay a bit more and get an alpine - their MP3 handling is
supposed to be first-rate.

The car it going int is an 11 year old Rover 416 which has the
original 'Rover' head unit in. How much hassel/what will be involved
to swap them around. WIll it be just a case of unplugin the old and
pluggin in the new or will I have to work out what each wire is doing
and wire up my own plug?


You may need to get an ISO - rover connector, or it may be that the 416
already comes with an ISO style connector (anyone know this?).
