[QUOTE="nicolaw, post: 1500124, member: 566410"] hey guys, first of all let me say i'm not very clued up on electronics but i have done some reading up on the net and wanted your advice. i have a bmw z3 with standard business cd which is rubbish! i don't need window smashing bass, but i would like a clear, crisp sound from my stereo even with the top down. i'm not going to be installing a separate amp just replacing the head unit. maybe change the speakers (but i've been told i should only use coaxeial speakers?!) anyway just wanted your opinion on what head unit to go for. i need something that will produce quality sound (through the standard speakers) and has enough power to cope without a separate amp. it has to fit the looks of my zed. mp3, cd-r compatible and also the potential for i-pod connectivity. i want a system which labels mp3 nicely and make it easy to access, scroll etc. DAB would be nice but not essential. so bearing that in mind, i came across the following pioneer DEH-P80MP - which looks great, has good features, seems to be a top unit [URL="http://www.pioneer-eur.com/eur/prod...onomy_id=25-121"]http://www.pioneer-eur.com/eur/prod...onomy_id=25-121[/URL] B Becker: Mexico Pro 7939 - CD/MP3 Tuner. never heard of this make but someone told me they're really good as they're used in porsches, bmws etc. [URL="http://www.becker.de/beckerCC21/www_root/index.jsp?language=En"]http://www.becker.de/beckerCC21/www_root/index.jsp?language=En[/URL] Think the Becker fits the stock look of my car and I hear they are well made and robust which is cool. I've read alot about Alpine stereos too, but dont which ones are good. I am really excited about upgrading my system but to be honest having done all this research i'm left very confused ! anyway i'd really appreciate any comments or advice. Also is installing a quality headunit going to make a massive difference, is it worth the money? very long and clumsy post but thanks for reading!!
