    Don't make the mistake of going cheap with this. Buy the cheapest unit by all means, but the cheapest unit with a separate external microphone. a lot of units with the Mic built into the head unit have appauling sound quality once you get over 30mph.

    couldn't agree more, had a sony bluetooth model with built in mic , was 250 euro maybe three years ago but quality was not good.
    If it's a van forget it, too noisy for them.

    Got a silvercrest crb532 from lidl last year, has external Mic, audio in, usb, sd slot, plays mp3 discs, music streaming and works very well.
    Bluetooth much better than the Sony one I had in my last car.

    hey i bought the parrot mki9200, its a full bluetooth system.
    and comes with lead in glove box that plays back usb and standard aux lead.
    also plugs in iphone/ipod charges it and allows full playback even down
    to playlists and artist etc selection.
    works great and lets you keep the dash looking standard without changing radio and does everything!
    i got mine fitted for 250 including call out
    love it!

    i bought a sony one in halfords with the built in bluetooth
    ended up turning bluetooth off couldnt hear a thing.
    himself has the parrot system mentioned above.
    no complaints from him and he's a fussy fart!!
    seems pricey but ticks the boxes.
    buy once and buy right.
