Thinking my next serious mod is going to be a headunit. Tired of listening to the radio and swapping CD's all the time. I really want one with a Sat Nav built in but looking at prices they are quite expensive. A basic double din with all the toys is around £250, rear camera, USB etc. are bonuses if I can find one. Sat Nav ones are around £600-800, but I can't justify the cost when I can buy a separate TOM TOM for around £100. Anyone with a double din with/out a Sat Nav share they experiences and recommend one? Also does sound improve over standard stereo or shall I go for the job lot with Sub, Amp etc. Last question... ![](/images/graemlins/snigger.gif) , I was looking at a make called Sion Electronics, they do Double Din Navs for around £300 but are these too cheap quality wise?

Ive got the standard 6 CD changer in mine.
The Pioneer looks really nice, good price too.

Yeah all my music is on my iPhone, I tried the AUX but the sound quality is awful and theres no bass. Bluetooth doesnt bother me mainly just for music and navigation.

I think im just been a cheapskate ![](/images/graemlins/jester.gif) , looks like il get saving and get a decent headunit, maybe some front speakers too. For the amount of traveling I do I don't think it justifies me buying Nav built in, was looking at Tom Tom's there only around £60 or I could use the free Nav I have on my phone.

![](http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo165/fordfiestast_co_uk/Album%20Seven/BedfordBorough-20110702-00183.jpg) thats my Pioneer AVH P3100DVD, it was £470 when i bought it 3 years ago, you can now get them for under £200 i think does direct ipod control and DVD player, rear camera and sub output, the only thing it doesn't do is satnav but i wouldn't use anything but tomtom when it comes to satnav

long as its a tidy job then more than easy to cut the bars out. not too fussed about doing this anytime soon but good to know for maybe next year.
