suggestions for replacement radio/cd

macafee2 · 16th September 2019, 21:24

I currently have I think a VDO CD 413X Radio CD.
I'm considering replacing it with a DAB radio/CD player for ease of tuning.

What ever I use, I want it to have an appearance of being from the time the car was made and not too modern or it will look out of place.
Orange lighting and if possible a USB port with a repeat button so I can listen to tracks repeatedly would be nice.

I'd like to set a security code and be able to change the colour of the display

Can you suggest anything?

I will be without access to the forum for a while so apologies if I do not reply

thank you

I can recommend a pioneer DD unit.
I have a AVH-X3500DAB unit currently but will soon upgrade to an Appleplay version as then the phone will stream the Google/Waze/Apple maps sat nav to the screen at will.
Nice graphics, reliable operation, good reception, excellent support if you need it (rarely)

You an easily link it to the steering wheel control via a BM-53 interface unit from Autoleads.

I went to Halfords today expecting a large selection to be on display.

I noticed some had a feature, Alexia. Does this mean I can control the unit by talking to it?
