I have the dreaded CD skip on my Bose Stereo. I’ve tried lots of local audio specialists but cannot find anyone who can code a second hand unit for me. I can get it repaired but that costs £300, and for that sort of money I can buy a reasonable aftermarket unit.
I’d like a CD player, DAB, Handsfree iphone compatible and something compatible with the steering wheel controls and the existing BOSE amp and speakers. Oh and it needs to look like it belongs in the car.
Having done a brief search these are the 3 options I’m provisionally looking at (obviously I’m aware I will need accessories to go with it):

Questions:
Has anyone used any of these. Fully compatible? Any installed pictures of these units?
Any other recommendations in this price bracket (£300 or under) that might be better suited to the 350?
Is my existing Sat Nav fully independent of the stereo?
