car audio?

thomj42

hi all, just wondering if anyone knows anywhere in dublin to get decent, reasonably priced Car Audio gear (headunits, components etc)?
went to halfords and they are seriously overpriced.
would prefer a shop to try before i buy but can handle online.
thanks!

Any particular product you are after?

thomj42

not really to be honest, just want a decent headunit, something that looks nice and sounds even better prefer pioneer, clarion, alpine or blaupunkt but not really fussy. ipod connection and control essential!

deffo pioneer for sound quality!
try ebay.ie or .co.uk - you will pick up some seriously cheap head-units from the uk (not so many from eire)

yeh, i think i need to do some research into the best unit, hard to find advice and reviews online tho.
why cant u just walk into a shop with a decent knowledgable salesman/woman and not be ripped off?

pioneer p55bt - i'm pretty sure there is an extra lead you can buy for it to plug your ipod in (about €20/30 extra)

You can't buy electronics anymore in Ireland (or anywhere in the EU really) unless you buy online. I bought a radio from incarexpress.co.uk a few months ago, and their service was pretty fast.

another vote here for www.incarexpress.co.uk - bought my last 2 stereos there (bought a second one because I wanted one with bluetooth so I'd have hands free), cost me about 2/3s of the price Halfords wanted. Delivery is very fast too - got my parcel 2 days after ordering it.

I used www.incarexpress.co.uk aswell. No problems with them, very fast.

I got a pioneer MP3/CD. Not that impressed with it tbh.
