After looking around, quite a lot, would really appreciate some feedback and advice on what headunit to go for...

1. I need something that will fit the MY03 STi dash (single DIN), though must support some sort of auto-MASK and/or face-off security

2. Must support MP3 playback - from CDR/RW - from DVDR would be a bonus

3. RDS Radio - with Radio text (one of those things you get used to!) would be a bonus

4. Silver / blue fascia, which fits in nicely with standard dash would be ideal - though the least of my worries if something else fits all the other criteria.

5. Ability to have a wheel mounted wireless remote would be very good - a la Kenwood infrared job, that I've had before

6. Good quality - Looked through the Alpine and Kenwood range so far

7. DVD playback / integral screen would be great - but by no means a necessity.


As you can see, not too fussy, and am looking at the Kenwood (Z838W) or Alpine (CDA-9815RB) at the moment - so any feedback on these specifically is also very much appreciated.

Thanks very much.

I've fitted the Kenwood KDC-PSW9524. No screen or DVD, but if you want that you're looking at large money IMHO... You could always add a separate screen and DVD player in the future and route the sound through an optional Aux-in adaptor.

There's a review that I wrote a few weeks back - have a search for that.

Cheers,
Nick.

I've just taken delivery of an Alpine 9812RB. Not quite all the features of the 9815 (ipersoanlise, lesser base engine). £239 at Letsbuy. I couldn't really justify the extra £100 for the 9815.

I'm fitting it in the next few days so I'll let you know what it's like with standard speakers.

What about the Clarion 928RVD unit.... Looks like it has everything I want, and then some.

Anyone got one????
