    i have the P55 Bt in my 156 which i also got from incarexpress (saved 150Euro on halfords prices). It's a very decent radio, in fact i could do with upgrading my stock speakers to match it's quality.

    the bluetooth connection works well . .when it works. I'm not 100% sure if its my own fault or not, but the unit i have will only work intermittently. It seems to always connect to my phone (w750i), and the sound on the unit mutes 100% of the time when a call is incoming, but about 50% of the time it won't send the audio out the speakers and i have to pull over to take the call. I have had my battery run low a couple of times while the car is laid up unused for a couple of weeks at a stretch, and i lost most settings on the head unit. I think i need to reset my bluetooth connection with my phone and see if it cures the problem.

    If it wasn't for that one issue i'd have no hesitation in recommending it. hopefully someone else can give their opinion too.

    Yeah its pretty good. Has the Pioneer IP-Bus, which means you can add stuff on (such as an ipod connection, cd changer etc) at a later date.

    rule of thumb, ABS, anything but Sony..... Their rating system for wattage is different to everyone else, majorly inflated figures

    Buying radios there is one rule,more you spend better quality you get.Over last 10 years i vent throu 40-50 radious(used to sell them as well) and i fined out,the hard way,best price performance is ALPINE.Ofcourse there is better but price tag on them is mad.
