Help with my final choice
 

Hi
I know that I have already asked for help and advice and have been
grateful for the replies already received.
The trouble is I am having great difficulty in deciding what CD Radio
to get. My final decission has been based on the following criteria.
1. Able to play MP3s
2. Able to interface with my steering wheel controls.
3. Black or dark grey in colour to match the cars dashboard colour.
4. Ease of use with not to many gimmicky features.
5. Price limit of sub £200
6. The cost of the adapter to interface with the steering Wheel
controls not being a stupid price.
7. Removal and replacement of head unit being easy.
8. And of course sounds good on both the CD and Radio.
The car it will be installed in is a 1996 Citroen Xantia SX

After much time spent looking at catalogs, web sites and playing with
the units at various Car Audio Dealers in my area (Devon. UK) I have
made up a short list which is as follows. Comments welcome.
JVC KD-SX998R
Pioneer DEH-P5500MP / DEH-P3500MP
Panasonic CQ-DFX683N

Regards
Tony

The 3500MP will interface to your steering controls, but the 5500MP
won't. The DEHP77MP will as well if you can stretch the budget another
£50 - and has a Burr-Brown output stage, so it's got better sound
quality than most of it's competitors.

I'd also second Matt's comments. The KDCM6021's now discontinued, but
the replacement KDCM6024G is virtually identical in specification (and
performance).
