Looks great and the spec sounds good - bloody good price too, especially for a Clarion. :o 8-)
Not sure if you'd get the best out of it with standard speakers though.

Hmmmm...might get one for the Carlton for it's Xmas pressie..............

Thats a no-brainer !!  Clarion !!

FM modulator is the best of a last resort to keep the existing head unit running, and I would never ever consider fitting a JVC (The Boy dislikes Sony with a passion, I am the same about JVC)

Does that mean we can add JVC to the 'gay'  list then? (I don't like them either ;D ;D )

Hooray !
We`ve located the one that works !! Knew that there had to be one out there somewhere.

Seriously though, I would suggest to never turn it on again, in case it breaks . . . and it will

If it does break will have to get another one as it was very cheap to start with.
