I've just got this kiddie. Can't rate it highly enough.



And these guys are doing it at a very attractive price. Bass Boy from here works for them. Really nice guy to do business with

It's the Hayes store I went to, well worth the trip round the M25

I've always had Kenwood decks in the past and had no trouble at all. Even my first KRC 356L is still operational.

This is why I purchased this unit for my Fiesta.



It went wrong

Got a free upgrade to this after a whole load of grief.



That too went wrong

Deffo won't buy another now

It just started skipping the moment I drove anything larger than a discarded fag butt. I got the hump and decided to listen to the radio and it wouldn't pick up any stations at all.

Gary is this for your Escort Estate?

If so, i think you should be spending your money elsewhere first really, i mean, the standard Ford stereo will do for now, the cars bodywork needs seeing to m8, get it sorted....
