Title: roadstar head units
Post by: benji mk2 on 20 August 2005, 19:10: Does anyone have any experience with roadstar head units? I've been offered a new one that plays mp3z and also has a usb port on the front to allow a memory stick to be used. I've seen these around for a while but I'm a bit anxious about going away from a large manufacturer.

Cheers to anyone who can give any info,

Ben.

Suppose it depends what your after though :undecided:
