Just before I buy one today. Has anyone got one/had one? It's just that I don't have any CD's in my car anymore as all my stuff is on my iPod, and the one I've seen has USB (which I could use to charge my phone/aswell as USB stick for music) and SD slot both extra storage for music incase my iPod does fill up. Also I despise when CD's get mixed up in other cases  so this is one way of stopping it.
This is the one I'm looking at, yeah i know it's only cheap and not a 'top brand' but that stuff don't bother me.

Not really sure what you're after, but I'm sure it'll do what it says, otherwise just send it back.

Yeah makes you laugh the descriptions.
I cant really see much difference between that and a bit more expensive one bar the price.

I've got a spare CD headunit with SD and USB input. I should really use it.

Doesn't matter how much you spend, they all play the same music. That one posted doesn't look too bad for the price imo. You could spend £300 on an alpine one but what would that do better? Especially if you're still running standard speakers and only playing compressed music anyway.

This.
Only thing it might not do is charge your phone
edit; just checked, it does.

So you're saying a cheap £50 headunit has the same sound quality as a £300 alpine unit?

Looks shocking. If you want one without the CD player then get one of these:

Got one in the Mazda. It's good

No, obviously not if you read what I wrote.
