thinking of changing the standard Honda Head unit

[billyupnorf]

Hi, i am currently looking for a head unit for my 2004 ep3. i like the Double din look, (small budget less than £400 ideally)

can you anyone recommend a good one to go for, where to buy them, ideally would like bluetooth connectivity, amplifier connectivity & satnav

would be nice if you can post pics of what you got installed? i have seen people asking about them not fitting properly

Sat nav units tend to be more in the £600 + range. Most are around the £800 mark.

There's a few ebay specials with nav for less than £400, but when I've searched for reviews online I've found mixed results.

AFAIK, all double DIN head units will fit an EP3, it's the facia that tends not to match in colour/fit perfectly.

Guess I'm getting like a broken record with the Pioneer lol, But honestly can't fault it for the £320 I paid for it last summer, Double din adapter needs some work but the end result is worth it -

Pioneer have some really impressive tech and hardware in the newer ranges. I just bought one over an alpine because you cant beat the price and spec. Pioneer 8400bt. Only a single din but gives me everything i need plus it has three rcas and a 4volt output.

Which facia or trim did you use mate?
I've got the pioneer 2400bt but its still got a big gap around it until I get either a facia, trim or both?
