Car stereo advice please

davidclayton

I'm gonna get an mp3 cd headunit and I'm mulling over these two:

SONY F7500

PIONEER P77

The pioneer is a fair bit more expensive, but I prefer the styling. But I have used a similar sony head unit and the sound was great. dunno. anyone have any opinions? is the pioneer worth the extra cash?

I agree the Pioneer unit looks a bit nicer. But I don't know if it's STG55 nicer...
And if you were happy with your last Sony unit...

Hey it's your cash

Make sure you shop around though.

I know I post this in reply to everyone who even mentions a car stereo :rolleyes: , but don't buy it from the states. Their tuning is different and you won't pick up quite a few Irish stations...

STG55?

What type or car is it going in? Something hip, or old and toffy nosed.

That's what I thought initially, but if there is one thing worse than a selection of crap radio stations, it is half a selection of crap radio stations. And don't call me Shirley. hmm, that joke doesn't really work in written format...

214.99 - 159.99 = ???

its going into a smart car, with a navy and orange interior!
i won't get one that'll match the interior obviously, but the pioneer would look better me thinks. but €80 more, and I don't even know if it sounds good...

i have to get a converter to make the aerial connection fit, but i never listen to the radio, so i'm not going to bother get it.
