I had a single DIN JVC HU in my last car and sound quality was good but not as good as the (faulty) Sony HU it replaced.  Left me wishing I had got another Sony.  That said I wouldn't hesitate to get that HU - if your replacing the OEM HU its only going to be a huge improvement.

  try the version up from that jvc 810, removeable facia and if you so a search on tinterweb will only be about 40 pounds extra or ebay.us where you can get it for 250 plus postage, just rember to ask seller to mark as a gift for under $40 to avoid uk tax.

i'm looking at getting one of these myself.
