theheff Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 before i start i am a complete ICE novice. i am looking to treat myself to either some Berk HFCs or a new headunit. if i go for the head unit I am after one with a rear usb so i can run an iPhone/ipod cable to the little compartment between the seats where the handsfree used to live. not interested in a front usb as i can't be dealing with plugging wires in and out all the time. i would prefer a single din but would consider double din, only issue with double din is what to do with the fascia when i take it out if I'm out shopping etc. I'm not overly fussed about satnav, and i can take or leave handsfree. want something that fits in with the car though i.e. something that looks nice and not cheap. i have a budget of around £400, which needs to include cables and all fittings. its a 04 GT pack with bose system BTW. cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 No contest - Berks FTW you get better sound as well Only joking I'm informed they don't actually make that much difference without the other mods and a re-map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK-Ultra Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I beleive SpursMadDave did have a very nice Pioneer unit for sale a little while ago, not sure if its still going? It was a top of the range unit with sat nav bluetooth etc.. was around the £400 mark. Try sending him a PM or browse through the For sale section.

DoogyRev Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Don't most double din HU not have removable facias ... if so to nick your HU would mean ripping the dash apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theheff Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 The woman ordered me a milltek system for xmas, intake is all velocity stacked up so the berks would be next, then plenum spacer and then a remap so thats my thinking behind the berks. Im just getting fed up with cds and the skipping. I like to have a choice of music at my fingertips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
