H&B Ca-5555

Here you can post things about ICE (In Car Entertainment). Like how to install GPS navigation, a DVD-player and other yuppie-stuff. This category might be moved to "those other things" in the end...

i've got one in my 480 and my gf's car and it is impressively good for the price. sound quality is great and the cd/mp3 will not skip even on the rough pothole infested maltese roads. radio reception and clarity are quite good too. it has got everything one needs except for a remote which is a bit of let down i think. a pity the display is not green to match the 480 dash although it does not look bad. anyway incredible value for money on the whole.

I was looking at a very similar unit along at Maplins the other week (www.maplin.co.uk) for about £100 at least you can take it back to them if it dont work.... they also do a bluetooth one as well. The only down side is the output of about 4x35 compaired to 4x45 - 4x50 on any decent JVC / Alpine etc, that the only thing that put me off.
