the one from your local store seems a steal at 300 as thats what your looking at for a decent second hand 1 so just depends what you want new or used atleast with the new one you could haggle to get free fitting :smiley:

looks like a quite good head unit, but there are lots more out there better or equal quality for alot less, i got a head unit that IMO is better and that was only £170, (got that in a sale should have been about £270)

personally ide shop around a bit more

I didn't either but looks less attractive to someone viewing it parked up and you can remove the face to apparently make it useless to a prospect thief. It's your choice though  :smiley:
