Default BEST Radio Retrofit For a MY04 onwards Scoob?

Hi,

I have a MY05 Scoob, with the standard radio.

Was wondering what would be the best radio to replace the original one, but with I-Pod capability and hands-free phone technology too.

Thanks

I popped the Pioneer into mine that is the same as in the Spec D's. Handsfree phone, Ipod capability, matching colour. Cant recall the model I'm afraid.

Nige.

Info about what I did in the FAQ, although the newer 'full speed' Alpine HUs are supposed to be a lot better for iPod integration than the one I used.

I installed a ClarionWXZ468RMP which I am delighted with. Managed to do it myself without too much difficulty, the brackets that hold the existing double din cd/tape/radio are compatible with it.
It takes 6 CD's in the head unit with each capable of 20 or so full albums on either wma/mp3, so 100 albums + is feasable. I have around 50 loaded with no problems. Easy navigation and full Tag track/album/artist titles.
About £260, needs a cable harness for ~£10
Bluetooth phone adapter around £80, which I may purchase to enhance
