Definately going to change the head unit, ive seen a pioneer one i like but not sure when im going to do it yet. Would it stop you being able to change car settings?

If you going aftermarket, fitting kit is around 140 quid, then u need head unit, at least 300, then if u want the connects 2 interface do you don't lose ability to change clock etc about 100,

Or get a oem sat navigation retrofitted, probably a lot of money,

3rd answer is to go with the icebeat s160 m072 head unit, 290 plus 45 for dab interface

Sorry mate but your pricing for the fitting kit is well off it's around £180 new that includes the interface and you still have full control over the settings the only thing is you do it via the steering wheel, of course they do come up on ebay every now and then

Lol I had been up all night lol

I prefer the quality of the branded double dins over the M072, but I prefer the factory look of the M072 over the branded double dins, that and the fact that they are easier to use as they are situated at a better eye level to the ones fitted further down the dash. All being equal though my first choice would always be original equipment, so I would plump for any of the NAVI units given the chance and funds.
