No. A branded quality is approx 250. But for an extra 100 you're gaining dvd playback, touch, app mirroring, full display of song titles etc, dab,

I see what you mean. But can you give me a link to a specific device to compare for THD, SNR and other values?
I personally don't see myself ever looking DVDs on that screen, I use GPS and Spotify from my phone, I can use the steering wheel controls for volume and tracks, keep the Dolby Pro Logic, have a specific audio profile that's tuned to the car interior and speakers, keep the original interior look. That's me. I love my HU-803 with GROM.

Only thing worth adding in these old cars apart from the Grom in my view is DAB. Mine's got the pop up satnav but I never use it. I've never been anywhere where looking at a map before hand doesn't work.

I have a GROM with the DAB adaptor instead of the bluetooth one.

Thanks for all the replies, apologies for the absence.
As some of you have said the Grom is ideal as that it looks factory and you can still use the Pro Logic II. As my car is a 2006 V70, would the USB3 still work as it says on their site that you may need the MST4 fibre optic kit? Thanks in advance |

Most double din sized head units will drop in but of course you do need to take into account a couple wiring harnesses (iso, aerial and amp) and a fascia adapter. So that's prob about 60 on top to bear in mind.

It's old hat now but I ran a pioneer 2400bt in mine for three years before I crashed it.

I have had my Grom / Bluetooth unit installed in my S60 for 5 yrs now with no major issues. The only occasional problem I get is losing button control on the steering wheel but carrying out the reset procedure on the Grom unit immediately resolves the issue.
