Don't the display ones get poked by corsa owners until they die?

The sooner corsa owners die the better...

I don't need one, but I'm tempted to buy one to keep it in reserve. Hmm...

First one I looked at hasn't got a CD player. They won't be building cars with spare wheels next. Crazy.

I tried to buy one for the Mazda but the only ones for Torquay collection were expensive or not what I wanted. I am not happy.... but then again, not that sad either 'cos I spend far to much money for one so poor!

Strange question but which one were you after as I reserved two and not going to need one of them.

If its the JVC KD-R461 drop me a pm and we should be able to sort something out.

That was one of the two I liked. Can I have please?

Of course - pm me your address and I'll work out postage.

Have not collected it yet, so will drop you a pm later.

Can't you do a click and collect or reserve in store  or whatever Halfords call it?

Bought one, thanks for posting.  Been meaning to for a while, no more CDs in the car for me :)

I had two radios/cd/usb wotsits last year when they did their clearout.  I'll pop in after work tomorrow to see what they've got this time, that reserving business is hard work and I don't want to spend twenty quid in fuel to get where one is shown in stock!

FanQ mate. I now have a new stereo! Well soon.

 

Just after I was given a load of tapes as well... they will have to go 'posh' in the dollop as soon as its new stereo arrives. Been a day for new sounds.... good!

I've got one of these in my Vivaro and it's brilliant. Much better than any OEM Bluetooth unit I've used. Scroll wheel is nice and quick for scrolling through contacts, and it works well with Spotify on my iPhone which most don't. Call volume is nice and loud, can be heard clearly even in at van at 70.

 

Only issue USB power is bit weak so I use a separate 2.1A cig lighter charger, but that also solves the issue of it switching from Bluetooth to usb whenever you plug it in.

Just picked up a basic JVC stereo from Halfords that I'd reserved for £30 as needed a new one for my aunties Punto as her current stereo packed up last weekend. 

 

Thanks gadgetgricey for the link the timing of that couldn't have been better!  :-D

 

If I had more money I'd buy a few more as spares.

I went into an actual branch and asked what they had.  Most had been reserved online!

Anyway I asked did they have any left with bluetooth streaming for music?

Bloke toddled off and came back with three boxed units, I chose the cheapest at £60, which turns out to be the online price for the stereo anyway.  Never mind, I might fit it in the 4x4 as handsfree phoneage will be handy on convoys.

Heh, this is still going.

 

I just reserved a fancy-ass JVC one for £40, just over half its RRP.
