[QUOTE="recsnmisc, post: 6148375, member: 612633"] Hi everyone. Greetings to all forum members. 1st post. I'm looking for a new cd/radio head unit for my car. Long time since I've been on the market for one and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by the current offer and standard features these days. Also lost track of whats cheap and what's expensive... You can find offers that are packed with features at surprisingly low prices, comparing to just a couple years ago. Also there are really, really expensive stuff out there. Is it worth it? So much being offered out there it's really hard to keep track. Looking forward to narrow my choices and look in the best direction regarding a compromise of sound quality/features/price. Any and all comments welcome. Thanks in advance. So first, essential features: [LIST] [*]quality sound [*]front USB [*]front aux line in [*]built-in bluetooth (possible with no extra dongles/cables?) [*]efficient security feature/detachable panel [*]not really a bargain but a good deal. nothing top of the line and really expensive [*]mp3 and playlist support [/LIST] Things that would be really cool to have: [LIST] [*]ability to control ipod/iphone through head unit [*]ability to control other DAPs through head unit [*]ability to connect a portable HDD (USB host/file manager) [*]variable color illumination [/LIST] Not essential but might consider it if price is right: [LIST] [*]HDD [/LIST] Things I don't need: [LIST] [*]DAB [*]remote [*]other media formats compatibility other than mp3 [/LIST] Thanks again! PS - Quick question: will the usb input be able to charge my mp3 player, mobile and gps unit? [/QUOTE]
