run away from the ripspeed as fast as possible.

Pioneer or Alpine i'd say. yeeah don't go for Ripspeed lol...

[JamesSXi]

right avoid any ripspeed done what about any recommendations for others has to have radio and preferably Ipod, not too fussed about Cd's but i can add a changer on later if i want to.

the alpine one i have above would that work with my steering wheel controls?

[figo_rulz11]

9855R is quite good. Alpine of course. most people would say Alpine mate!

[JamesSXi]

will the above alpine work with my steeringwheel controls?

[JamesSXi]

I'm going to go get that alpine one early next week then but what other bits will i need ie fascia adapters etc? and is there a way ofgetting it working with my steering controls? thanks James

Get facia adapter off e-bay but make sure you get the right colour if it's not black. There is silver and gunmetal. Only £6.

This is the item number for a BLACK one. Look in the sellers shop for other colours. 120266503669
