Default What to get and how much?

My 75 currently has the orignal harmony head unit installed. I was thinking of upgrading this as the first major mod since getting it, and was getting all excited about dvd players etc, how much do these things cost and a rough price on fitting? I dont have a clue and i dont know how easy it is to change it to a more modern head unit

DO i go for one of these fancy sat nav dvd thingys or just a dvd thingy and does it cost much more for these headrest monitors etc??

I look forward to the ICE experts advice!

If you need to use satnav often and don't like the messing about with untidy loose wires to get it going, then the DD is definately the way to go. You then get integrated the CD +DVD + MP3 + Ipod interface + radio + if you want to pay a bit extra the TV and the reversing camera.

I just had a alpine double din fitted, admittedly not the cheapest as i had all the speakers replaced, bluetooth , dynamat etc.

Blows, i say , blows the old lowline away!!!!!!!! The guys where i get all my stuff from ( BCSS COULSDON) said if you had the stereo yourself a single din was £75 just to fit.

Unfortunately the bug, due to the sound quality, has well bit me on the bum and am now looking at subs and amps! I am 41 years old and not a child but when you hear how good it could be, your hooked!

And if you want a cheap alpine freeview tuner...well...i'm your man!

Hi Alan, If you don't buy the DD you will have that sense of something missing !
