roadstar head units
« 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.

would tend to agree knightrider, ok to stick in if your selling a car or as a stop gap, but I'd be more inclined to the better quality makes!
Suppose it depends what your after though :undecided:

mmmmm.....Alpine, you know you want to! I'm not a fan of the new range, only because the don't look very nice, but don't judge a book by it's cover, they are chuffin' awesome units.
