Cheap and cheerful has gotta be a cassette adapter... and don't be confused into thinking the sound quality will only be as good as a tape deck, as it isnt... an adapter doesnt store any music on a magnetised tape, it just converts electrical signal from an ipod to a magnetic signal, which is instantly picked up by the reading head and converted back into an electrical signal, with no interference (unlike FM transmitters)

 

Also, this setup allows you to retain the steering wheel controls for volume, whereas if you swapped the head unit, you'd need another £70 to connect up the steering wheel controls.

Jvc 640 is just under 200, double din with usb, ipod etc

 

I have one of these and its pretty impressive, and you dont need an inline booster because it has it built in.

 

Is the jvc a straight swap? Do you need anything else to make it work? Its discontinued but the new model is near enough the same and still only £230

 

 

Just the cables talked about in these threads...
