Well thanks. I did get an Alpine (CDE-9845RR) CD-R/MP3, in Ian
Banning's Guildford. Cost £170 including fitting. Very good unit at
first listen. Only one disappointment, I didn't realise this but it
won't power up if the ignition is off. Apparently only car
manufacturers own units will do this.

Mike where abouts are you from mate? If you're in the Leicester
area.. there
is a shop called MCS DIRECT.. I would recommend, they generally do mail
order on the internet, and if you're extra nice when you go in they'll give
you their net price in shop too and fitting.. just call them first off to
book.. then they'll do it right away.. As for service.. I've never seen
better, I bought a unit from there once which they fitted, had problem with
the radio, drove in, fixed on the spot.. VERY HAPPY.. as for price well I
would recommend the SONY CDXR65500 it's £130 from them.. should do
everything you want really..

Thanks but I just got an Alpine (see above).
