Any good ones out there, that you recommend? Sick of my stereo with only AM/FM bands, and sick of hooking it up to aux, every time. Want something that looks more of a docking station that a stereo if possible.
Thanks
Edit: or an Ultra Slim-line Stereo.

Seen that one Mark, can't see the output of it, needs to be good/loud. There is a Sony/Bose shop at the back of my work might pop up there one lunchtime see what they can offer.

What is your budget?
Geneva Model L seems to do what you ask, but it's an expensive bit of kit. Sounds fantastic though...

Around Ł200(ish). I know it's not much for what I'm asking for. How much are the Geneva's? Maybe i could stretch to a certain point.

Ł1.099 so a bit more than you want to spend.
Also it's not DAB apparently, not that I see what you'd need it for with an iPhone docked...
I can't think of any other dock solution with CD and radio built in.
Mini stereo with separate speakers out of the question?

This does what you want:

I'll expect it to outperform most docks within your budget.

I honestly wouldn't bother with a docking station, find a bluetooth one. Mainly because if you get a new phone, it becomes pointless as it won't fit.

Yeah, I'd definitely get past the need for a CD player. Kind of narrows your options.
