Anyone recommend a single DIN car stereo?

That’s the one I spent my hard earned on. The classic, £12 one. The really expensive bit was the aerial extension from Halfords.
Plug n play apart from that. Seems to work well.

Yes thought it handy with b/tooth for ph saving stopping and hunting through pockets to get out only for it to ring of.

If he hadn't then I would have (well I would have negotiated )
I have just found a Tevion single din bluetooth head unit in my shed, cd player, sd card, usb and aux in with remote control, you could have had it FOC Melissa, and I am only 10 miles away, sorry I have only just found it today

Thank you so much for your lovely offer Tezza and apologies for my delay in replying - I've been having issues with my dad this week and wasnt online as much, but all OK now.
I have now received the the one I ordered and chucked it in - thankfully the connections were the same so all really painless!

All the best,
Melissa

Hope you bought one of the ones from china,some are located in england so shorter time to delivery.

Hi Trevskoda - You always make me smile - i did indeed decide to go for one of those cheap ones from China. They are so ridiculously cheap that I thought I really must just try one and see. If it had been awful I would have just gone for a 'known' brand.

Whilst its early days, I have to say that so far its worked flawlessley and sound wise is certainly as good as my old Phillips one. I have a VW diesel 1.9 engine which is noise anyway so I figured that any expensive stereo nuances would be lost in the noise anyway! ;-)

You win some, you lose some. At the minute, it's a 'win'

Most of the radios are made in china nomater whos name is on the front of it,good luck with it and hope it does the job.

I've had the exact £12 Chinese one that Trev mentioned for a couple of years now - it's ok for bluetooth, aux in or usb playback, but the radio has a drawback in that it has no RDS so doesn't auto tune to a new frequency when you are on the road.
The Bluetooth function for taking phone calls is not much use (and maybe not legal, I'm not sure) - not that I'd use that anyway
