Default Which Headunit ?

By no means an expert on sound but as my single din unit has decided to play silly buggers and not switch on (multi function switch ) its time to replace . Tbh it was already in the car when purchased and never a good sound so i'm not really bothered in that respect .
So guys what to replace it with ? Have a budget of £100 and would like recommendations / advice on something that will work with a reasonable audio quality please ?

I fitted a Sony MEX-N4000BT to my blob wagon, sound quality is excellent over the standard stereo, and I only paid £88 for it, would happily buy another.

Cheers,
Paul

They'll all be much of a muchness at that price to be honest.

I'd look through the classifieds here for example: https://www.talkstuff.net/ipb/index....=desc&filter=0

and pick up a second hand unit.

It would seem that particular model has been discontinued but the mex-4100 bt has some good reviews and may be a contender
