Thanks for the real-world update, the unit sounds a little disappointing to be honest which is a shame given the cost.

To be fair the standard unit, despite having a pretty dated little LCD screen, has great sound quality at normal volumes. I'm one of the old school farts who still has a CD case full of CDs in the glovebox anyway (not into this MP3 stuff) so I think standard will do.

Yes a little disappointing. It is priced in Euro so it may have been a bit cheaper when I brought it (July 2017). Price was similar to a two din unit (without SatNav) + adaptors. BLP has SatNav and I could swop the cup holder for a Volvo cubby-hole for storage.

Original unit had intermittent radio reception and back lights failing. Liked the CD player, but wanted dab (done with BLP via phone + bluetooth).
