    Hi, first post, woot and all that.

    I'm after some advice, I am after a new head unit.

    things it must do:
    1) play mp3's etc off a usb drive, with a rear usb port so I can stash the drive in the glove box
    2)have a pre out for a sub
    3) not have a limit on track number
    4) be reasonably priced

    if I can get a dab radio on it too that would be a bonus

    I was looking at the Alpine IDA-X311RR but it has a track and folder limit.

    what else should I be looking at? thanks in advance

    oh, and below 200 quid would be good

    I have the Alpine iDA X303 and I have it attached to an 8GB iPod Nano. I also did not need a CD Player.

    It has a track number limit? I did not know that. My two largest Playlists are my MISC1 and MISC2 which have 78 and 92 songs in them. I'll have to look at the directions later. But I can tell you that it is a really good HU. Its easy to operate and it works extremely well with iPods. I have also used my iPod Touch with it in Bluetooth mode.

    What A great Idea the spot for the Ipod is did you wire it thru the over head ? And the foam you uses you cut that to fit correct ? I am so going to do this In the slot for my garage door opener. If you do not mind me asking and Hijacking this thread but What wire did you use? the USB Cable for the Ipod?
