Thoughts on this.

Need bluetooth
Use of my control stalk
4x50w
Amp connectable
Red or green in colour

Does this suit all my needs? Im totally confused about what I need to connect that stalk up, I know I need a fascia adapter but does anyone know what else I need? Cheers.

You will need an adaptor for the steering wheel controls
Should really get one with external mic if your using it for handsfree otherwise its crap
If you want to use ipod, find out what ipod ready actually means
Get a pioneer or alpine instead

And last of all never ever EVER buy from this company

I purchased my clarion from this company. They were a little slow about things and to get what i wanted did require a stern letter to head office... but i got my discount and one of the only systems in the country so i don't care.

If you need any contacts for this then i've got a relation with a guy in the Birmingham Branch now.

iPod ready usually means you need an extra ipod connection cable (such as I did). They usually cost around an extra £30... which isn't too bad. You'll find this with a lot of the systems.

My recommendation to you is to figure out EXACTLY what you want and stick to it... else the price will keep on going up and up. Do your research.

Scott I bought a stereo from this company, the boss/owner lied to me who he was on the phone, took me over 6months to get my money back, then decided he was going to take me to court

I just got this one and fitted it myself with help of an adapter fascia from ebay.
Radio
Fascia adapter
Price at that place seems expensive though, I paid the equivalent of £250 in euros in Holland

I'll heed your warning over that company.

Pioneer or Alpine don't do a double din that do the thing I want for sub £350. I might get this JVC unit, personally had very good results from JVC in the past and £180 is cheap for a 50w double din packed with features.

Thanks all for your help.

Pioneer as in my post above, what doesn't it do that you need (apart from colour red or green)

That pioneer is brilliant, although a mate only paid £215 then the price promptly shot up!
