I looked at it when i got my new one, what put me off was that half the front is wasted space! (I prefer the big screens)
It all depends on what u plan to do with it, if u are adding amps then make sure it has pre-outs etc etc

it has 3 6v preouts which is what attracted me to it. i like plain and simple headunits. the more flashy lights and stuff it has the less money has been spent on making it sound good imo.

I agree, when i meant big screen i didnt mean all the flashy shite graphics of dolphins etc (why the fuck would you want them anyway?! lol)
I just prefer a bigger display so u can see things abit easier/clearer

just ordered a Sony CDX-M8800 MP3 headunit - 200 quid delivered and the only thing differant from the top model (cdx-M9000) is mine doesnt have a tft display and is 200 quid cheeper :P

before you go buying anything - get aon www.kelkoo.co.uk and compare prices - kelkoo comes back with the cheepest everytime

I would never dream of spilling any beer - that is a cardinal sin

it works fine and is in mint condition.
