Hi Chaps,

SWMBO has managed to break her ankle, which has put paid to our upcoming 
trip to New Zealand [1].  Anyway, as she isn't driving her car for the 
forseeable, I have been tootling about in it, and have discovered a nice 
little list of thing which need sorting out [2].

One of the things which needs sorting is the headunit - the one which is 
in at the minute is frankly senile.  I've thought about getting an Ipod 
compatible one, but my experience of them to date is that the interface 
isn't great so instead I am thinking of putting a (preferably cheapy) SD 
card reading HU in.  Does anyone have any personal 
experience/recommendations?  Budget isn't particularly defined, but it's 
going in a shite old peugeot, so nothing silly.  Something which manages 
file access in a reasonably sane and easy-to-use-whilst-driving manner 
is a major bonus.

TIA

[1] Arse.

it's over 100 quid (just) but this has caught my ete a few times - 
http://www.clarionworld.co.uk/stock/fb289rbt.asp - does bluetooth handsfree, 
bluetooth audio and SD card, no disc player.

Interesting...The unit to be replaced is a clarion - I wonder if the 
steering column stalk from that would be compatible?  probably not, but 
ta for the suggestion!

Aldi and/or Leeeeedl have been doing two units, one for about £60, the 
other about £70.

Only problem is it only supports SD cards up to 2gb, you can buy 32gb SD 
cards now so it's a shame really :(

Looks nice though :)

See if you local lidl has any of the Silvercrest bluetooth ones left in.
Sub £100, sounds a bit cheap (not as good as the factory radios in the 
Octavia, and the two Toyotas I had), but does aux in, usb, SD, CD/CDRW 
MP3 and WMA/AM/FM/RDS, and it is ISO cable and has a sub out. They also 
did a non Bluetooth for even cheaper but no idea of the sound on them. 
The bluetooth works really well and comes through the speakers louder 
and clearer than FM does.

The model I have is a KH 2375. Looks like it is a special model for LIDL 
as I can't find much info anywhere. Comes in Silver and black, I luckily 
got a black one and it blends in quite nicely.

Why not get one that has a decent AUX-in which you can drive from
whatever player you prefer? IME most MP3 H/Us are very restrictive in
the formats they accept so you may end up re-encoding a lot of your
music.

My iPod video with a Sendstation Pocketdock sounds seriously good via
AUX-in, both in the cars and on the home HiFi.

The second one I posted does have SD and USB slots (I have one in my van) 
but I notice maplin doesn't say anything about them, strange.

thing about maplin head units is they always feel and look real cheap and 
most over hang the dash by half a foot! ok maybe exagerating a bit...
i'd like a head unit with a rear USB port cos i'd run an extension cable 
into the glove box and use my memory stick, think sony or alpine made one 
like that not sure but think it was about 200 notes.

personally i don't like paying more than 100 squid for my radios after some 
pikey bastard nicked one out of my BM a few years back :(

I'm pretty sure they look exactly the same as the SilverCrest units that 
LIDL were selling as well (i.e. pretty naff).

You all need less pikey cars ;-)  I have the Renault item in my glovebox. 
Ok, it's actually an option and allegedly it's... well it's quite an 
expensive option for what it does...  Basically, it plugs into the CD 
changer socket on the the back of the stereo, then feeds into the glovebox. 
It's a small box with an iPod plug, a 3.5mm Aux in jack and a simple USB 
port.  Then if you plug a USB pen in, it can see old the folders, you can 
browse folders, then tracks at will.  If you plug an iPod in the 
functionality suffers and it sees it identically to a CD changer, each CD 
been one of your playlists.  I'm not sure if it's something I've done wrong 
or if it's a bit if Apple been helpful, but I can just play the first 6 
playlists on my iPod (just a normal classic 80gb - but it also works with 
iPhone[*]) just like 6 CDs in a changer, skipping between CDs and then 
tracks.  Finally, it has the Aux in - basically it works like volume 
adjustable headphones heh - and as on any car with a simple Aux in port, you 
set the music playing on the MP3 player and then you have to control tracks 
on the player directly, the only thing you have any control over is the 
volume.

Or if you don't wanna pay for the extra iPod bit, the upgrade MP3 stereo 
(standard in the R27 or £125 - and actually, it might be necessary if you 
want the Tunepoint - any of the stereos which can have a changer can have 
them) plays anything you like, again browsing by folder then track - also 
picks up the track name from file names or any messed up combination of tags 
heh.  I have the names turned off 99% of the time anyway though.


[*] Anyone want to buy an iPhone?  It's in really good nick, few small 
scratches on the back - but TADTS :-)  Works perfectly, is on 1.1.4 
jailbroken and works on any network, except 3.  If you want it on 2.0 you 
can do that and Jailbreak it now as well.  I've been using it for a few 
weeks cos I thought they looked cool - but it really isn't me, far too 
involved heh!  I've gone back to my nice, simple little Nokia 6300.  Or if 
anyone wants to swap it for something like a Nokia 8600 Luna/6220/6500 
Classic, I'd be up for that :-)

How much do you want for the iPhone Dan? My missus wants one, but doesn't 
want to pay the huge price on 02. I've got an unlocked N95 8GB BNIB that she 
doesn't like, so that's going on the bay later. She's on 02. Wants to give 
her Samsung to her mum when we go on holiday in a couple of weeks.

Well, it's an 8gb 2G one, I paid £220 for it, and it was 1 month old then, 
so it's about 2 months old now heh :-)  It's fully boxed with all the bits 
of course, the earphones have never been used - they're the same ones that 
come with the iPod and are a bit shitty.  It even has the iPhone hard sided 
bag that came with them from the shop :-)  (which is obviously not really 
worth anything heh, but would make a nice way of handing it over)

They appear to still go for 200-240 on eBay so, if you're still interested, 
make me an offer less than that, and save me the time/hassle of using eBay 
hehe :-)  Or before that actually, drop me an email to my posting name, but 
without the B, at danontherun dot com - and I'll furnish you with some pics, 
which I'll take in a sec to show the little scratching on the back, it's 
minimal, but in the interests of honesty!  And the front/screen is totally 
unmarked :-)

Doki, if you're reading this, I totally forgot to mail you about that 
headunit - so have just done so now!

says the guy with a renault, sorry but the renault could have the best 
stereo in the world and i'd still have to think long and hard. i used to 
have an adapter i got for my old ipod which treated it like a cd changer, 
cost 100quid and that was err 3-4 years ago? but you could skip through 
albums ect and was quite good in the way it worked plus you could download 
updates for it which stored as tracks on the ipod but was actually data to 
update the gadget thingy.

sadly sold it on ebay ages ago and forget who made it, think it was german 
but all i can remember decided to sell it as i kept forgeting my ipod as i 
didn't like leaving it in the car!

now i just burn MP3's to cheapo CDR's and change them when i can be arsed.

Yea why not :-p

What is it you drive these days anyway?  The Legacy is long gone iirc - then 
wasn't there a V6 Vectra, or have I made that up?  Just being nosey :-)

Yea?
Erm, well you... you smell then. And you have sex with Monkeys.

Christ, that was *way* before the Legacy. And I don't actually 
acknowledge that the V6 Vectra happened anymore. And you can't prove it.

Hehehe!  What do you drive at the mo?  Presumably not a V6 Vectra :-)  A 1.8 
Vectra...?

Oh, nothing that interesting.

And certainly nothing French, that would be unforgivable.

And even if it was, you still can't prove anything.

Local tesco extra has Sony Mex blutooth headunit in for £70.

Might be worth seeing if Tesco online has them listed.

Sorry Mike, I've flogged it now, I waited three days before I told the new 
owner, from this group, who actually emailed me at 7am, the morning after I 
posted that heh, they could now have it :-)

So the proud new owner is.... <drumroll>..... SteveH!

Expect to see some crazy stats from that accelerometer program thing any 
time soon hehe.

Whilst I remember Steve, you may want to change the "Restore Mode" picture, 
as the standard picture is a plug going to a Mac like symbol, but I have it 
a plug going to a Windows symbol hehe.  The the 'Booting' screen instead of 
a dull silver apple is an old school stripey colourful Apple :-)  They're 
something you can change when you're Pwning it.  Also, it has Wallpaper 
installed, for sharing wallpapers, and I've set the 'Locked' screen one to a 
special one, just for you ;-)

(You'll be pleased to know, I didn't go with Lord Doug's suggestion...)
