Recommendations for an Aftermarket CD Player for <€150 Please...

blobert

Hello,

I'm looking to buy a replacement CD Player for my Yaris. It's a Japanese export wired with a pretty decent Kenwood unit at the moment and 4 speakers but because it's an import the radio won't work here. It also has no Aux or USB in, so no possibility to connect iPod or play MP3's.

Features I'm looking for:

*Single DIN unit (I have an adaptor to fit it in the Yaris)
*Aux in for iPod
*USB in (might just stick a load of music on a 2Gb stick instead so would like this option)
*Decent sound quality (I know it is not going to be great for <150€)
*Bluetooth for phone (not that important, would be a bonus but others matter more)

iBood had a Sony unit for only €80 the other day but I left it too long and now its gone. If I can get a decent unit for under €100 I'd be happy but am willing to pay up to €150.

Any pointers or recommendations would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Robert

You can get a freq shifter for the Jap imports ,I remember my brother got one for his car as he did not want to change out the head unit ,and I don't think that it was too expensive.

Thanks but I'm looking to get a new unit with the features described.

Thinking about either this Alpine Unit, which connects directly to the iPod:

Or this Sony one:

Having trouble finding reviews of car audio, if anyone knows of a website let me know.

Any further recomendations would be appreciated.

Think I'll be going with this one:

Gets excellent reviews on Amazon, does exactly what I want and is the right price.
