New Head unit required
I swapped the standard Alpine unit for a Sony dab but that has just died at 14 months old. Whilst the Sony did everything I wanted I am reluctant to buy another. Any suggestions?
My only ask is that illuminates green to match dash lights, dab and hands free phoning. I've put the Alpine back in but I miss the dab more than I thought.

Hi
I have a Pioneer in millie and really happy with it, you can choose what colour to match the dash and it's got hands free but mine is not dab but i know you can get them, i just didn't want to go down the dab route Very Happy Clayton.

Thanks Clayton. Visited Halfords today and purchased a Pioneer on your advice, thank you. No trade card discount though Big Cry . There's no way I will attempt fitting until it gets a little milder Laughing

How did you get a halfords discount card? When I asked they wanted headed motor trade letters and I'd finished in garages a couple of years before so Decided not to blag a letter. Ray

Works well and the hands free calling is acceptable too.
