Just managed to break my current one by dropping it on the floor. Was half working until I started messing with it and now its fully knackered

So I'm on the look out for a new one Got about £150 to spend on one with

mp3 player
Ipod compatible
sub woofer output
etc
My old one used to flip out which was really cool so wouldn't mind another one that does similer lol

Any recommendations on what to buy? Had a Pioneer before and it was great (before i dropped it) so just having a look at those.

Cheers guys

If you buy top end of the market Fusion it'll be just as good as Alpine, it's just because everyone buys the cheaper models, which are cheap for a reason

Have used Pioneer personally for quite a while now, but am looking at getting this Kenwood one for my van as it combines everything I want in a bloody good price (imo!)

I have this one

http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/pioneer-dehp800bt-p-6551.html

Does everything, bit out of your price range mind, but does CD's, MP3 CD's, Bluetooth, Bluetooth handsfree, iPod connection etc. Save a bit more and get it

Now that is nice! Hmm might be worth saving some more monies then + Just noticed that fusion one doesnt work with my Ipod which is a bugger!

It was £400 when i got it in Halfords. But then i took a max power in cause id seen it cheaper in there, and they gave me the difference back, so ended up getting it for £240. And its not just a jack plug, its a proper iPod lead that charges it too and comes with a cool lil remote

tbh you were very lucky, normally it has to be within a few miles in a shop and in stock.
ended up paying £175 for mine with discount
