Head Unit Recommendation please

Graham_B18C

I have a Panasonic Unit in my car, just an old tape deck with a Panasonic 6 CD changer in the boot, does the job as I can hook up the iPod to it dead handy, ut it looks awful!

Looking for some advise on a nicer sterio, What i want is compatability with the changer, ipod or an aux, Bluetooth would be nice too! Any ideas on a decent one to get?

Nothing majorly expensive!

Thats the very one I was looking at, but could I hook the changer up to it?

Would be a bit of a waste havin an unused changer in the boot!
Suppose if the ipod connectivity is that handy, I wouldn't need cd's.

On second thoughts, about the bluetooth, I dont think id be able to hear em if i had it...pretty noisy car!

...or keep it in the boot, when time comes to sell the car, put the old radio in and keep the fusion one for my next car!

Hmmm...it says an iPod touch will fit but on the Fusion site it says the front plate would need to be modified...do you know anyting about this?

On the ebay ad for this one http://cgi.ebay.ie/Fusion-CA-IP500-iPod-Dock-Docking-Head-Unit-Car-Stereo_W0QQitemZ180417844691QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Audio_TV_Electronics_In_Car_Entertainment_GPS_In_Car_Audio_Players_PP?hash=item2a01bdd5d3

I've got a Fusion CA-IP500 too and it's great.

They are touch compatible.
The stereo comes with a selection of different sleeves that can be slotted inside the unit to allow it to take various different models of iPod.
