In Dizzies opinion you should save up a bit more and get the 9855 alpine, however this is like another £100 so we'll ignore his opinion!!

I cant give you any opinions on HU meself as im one of the growing number of carpcers. However ive looked around and found a price of £196 from caraudiosecurity and £189 from caraudiodirect. However, ive just looked on ebay and spotted this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Alpine-CDA-9853R-CD-Player-Head-Unit-MP3-Stereo-Radio_W0QQitemZ5876188410QQcategoryZ39755QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem 2 days left but its a good price so far and the system looks in awesome condition. I always try n buy off ebay cos you can save yourself some seriouse money. My components retail at I think £360 but i got them brand new off ebay for £160, bargain!!

yeah we all know dizzie loves that headunit... but its silver for one thing  :sick:

ive got a nice black dashboard and want to keep it that way! hehe

i know its got all the features, but if i was gonna spend £300 on a headunit, id save and buy a flip out screen one.

i found car audio direct to be the cheapest too, and with free delivery it's not too bad at all, will keep my eye on that one though. cheers  :wink:

the man talks sense!

im ordering mine today as that guy off ebay said he got his for £250 couple of weeks ago... i pointed out you could get it for 189 from car audio direct and he said i could have it for 165.... not much of a saving really considering i dont know what he's done with it...

so im ordering mine from tinternet today.

should i order anything else while im at it?
