    Guys, do you have any suggestions for a car stereo with aux in, bluetooth streaming capabilities and usb if possible for around €200?

    I currently have a Sony BT5000 http://www.pixmania.com/ie/uk/332366/art/sony/mex-bt5000-bluetooth-cd-m.html Unfortunately its an American radio so I cant get any Irish stations. I usually stream mp3s from my phone through bluetooth but I miss having access to the radio so I'll try shift it on ebay and put it towards a new stereo. I wouldn't buy another BT5000 because the aux in is at the back of the unit which doesn't make it very accessible.
    Thanks

    I think you are gonig to find it hard to find a "decent" headunit with all those features for 200 euro,your best bet is second hand after selling your own,i too have a sony mex bt5000 and its also a us headunit,personally i cant fault it,its perfect and personally i feel radio in this country is crap except for newstalk which ive never had a problem with picking up.

    think something like this might be what you're looking for, and on budget too...:)

    I experimented with fancier headunits that all went wrong on me, before I got the Sony BT2500 - which is a less fancy version of the one you have.

    I find it brilliant. It has the iPod connection on the face, although no USB. The MP3 CD navigation is so simple compared to some of the interfaces I've used. Bluetooth is as good as any (none are perfect). And no problems whatsoever with picking up Irish stations.

    G'luck!

    What about a Parrot RK8200

    looks around your budget - probably find it cheaper with a bit of searching on the net.
