My HU-850 broke too, apparently a pretty unreliable unit. I chopped the cage about and managed to get the older HU-803 in there which actually sounds better. The only annoyance is that I had to cut the aluminium trim in half (the bit that goes round the edge)
Going to fit a Bluetooth module to it soon, a China bay £10 special...
I couldn't bear spending a ridiculous amount on a replacement 850 from eBay when it would most likely break again. These 803s are supposed to be more reliable, and they are a lot cheaper second hand, win win. The cut trim and hacking about with the cage is the only annoyance, but I can't do without music!
