Question

Right, need a new h/u and I already have a Sony tape one thats old now, but means I have the CD Changer and MD Changer I'd like to re-use so that means going Sony again.

So far choosing between:

Sony CDX-M850MP

Sony CDX-MP80

Sony CDX-M1000TF

Any thoughts on which to go for? And anywhere cheaper than the links above

Right, the 850 is out - saw it in Halfords and it looks tacky!

Still can't decide between the other 2 though...........

lmao - thats not very technical

I was hoping someone would know the advantages/disadvantages over each! At the mo its the cheaper one due to the removable faceplate, but the TFT screen on the other looks soooooo

Are these fixed screen ones a security risk? They are coded, how good is that as a preventative measure?

Sorry I cannot offer any help on this matter, but for me, the TFT would be the better "toy" for the car!

I have the 1000 version and its a beast, superb display, not to kean on the non removeable face but it is coded and you get a crapy plastic cover to hide it. It sounds great and on the latest version of it I think you can download your own graphics via a memory stick. I can highly recommend it and so can my mates (well they stare at it enough anyway). I got mine from bassjunkies.co.uk cheapest I could find it at the time and the shops local to me. Hope that helps.
