Pioneer AVH-X2500BT 6.1" CD/DVD Bluetooth Car Stereo for £207.90 (with code) @ Halfords
£207.90Halfords Deals
Had been looking for a new head unit and came across this on Halfords yesterday for £250. This was a price match to other online retailers so did not seem too bad as on eBay, these are currently going for around £185 used.
Checked today and they have reduced it to £231 and also running a 10% promo on car stereos with code B14AUD02 (thanks to andywedge for sharing).
Halfords also do 3% cashback, so with that (and they have always paid out in my experience), this is almost £200. I think they have brought out a newer model, hence the price of this one, but it generally gets good reviews on the net and seems like a good price for this model. The alternative was a JVC KW-AV61BT on Car Audio Centre for £200, but after reading about their poor customer service, decided to buy elsewhere.
There are other good offers on double dins at Halfrauds, but these are mostly the non-screen models. Still, worth checking out though as they have Alpines, Pioneers and Kenwood units which all seem quite good.

Anyone got one of those units which they'd recommend?
Most of the Cheaper China devices are WinCE 5/6 loaded with Android OS.
China did those cheap WinCE 5/6 netbooks some years ago, now you can get the same netbook with the Android OS loaded.
Its the same with the cheap unbranded WinCE SatNav units, some sellers now sell them as Android OS.
Check out this jailbreak tweak for full control in app mode. (Ios7 version in development)

Oh I see, thanks for the help!
I ordered yesterday and looks like it will be delivered today...not bad for free standard delivery (they charge £5 for next day delivery).
Simply not true at all. Allot of the systems use Windows Ce 7.0 which is only 2 years old. Windows Ce has it uses and is a very good system it looks dated because of the coders who made the UI for the system. It can be made to look has new or has advanced has they want. It is also a very optimised OS for mobile chips every ATM in the world uses Windows CE extremely reliable efficient and quick.
I love the fact the radios use Windows CE has the front end can be bypassed and you then fully have a tablet on your radio allowing you to do what you want.
Android would be more suited but you see Android requires more RAM and a Faster CPU where has Windows Ce does not.
Do you reckon I could fit this myself in a Golf Mk V myself or will I need to pay someone to do it.
does anyone have a link to these win ce devices on eBay that now ship with Android os? Are these the ,5" all in one gizmos for the car?

Yes, I take that back. I was referring more to the Win CE 5.0/6.0 devices but you are right, WinCE is still very much in development so a 7.0+ device would be fine I imagine.
7" TFT LCD Windows CE 6.0 VIA8650 ARM11 Netbook with WiFi/RJ45/USB 2.0/SD Card Slot - Black
These are the same WinCE Netbooks that are loaded with Android.

Just get one of THESE!
Any thoughts?
All that money and no built in standalone GPS navigation oO without linking your phone, the device is useless.
How about the PHILIPS CED1800BT 2DIN 6.2" Screen DVD Car Stereo Player Bluetooth & GPS Sat Nav £195.00
Interesting...I checked the Pioneer manual and it shows you can connect the iPhone 5 with the lightening connector? I think you need a special cable though, so maybe that is the issue..
The JVC was also my other option because of the removable plate. Hope you're enjoying it!
Oh sorry I read it kinda wrong windows ce 6 is old but it is still good. The reason they look old and crappy is just because of the chines developers pushing for a product and not looks sad ! could have amazing potential.
Have a look at the link below - specifically at the measurements. Then probably a case of measuring the opening in your car/looking on the net at forums to see if other people have installed single/double din units.

Agree, looks good on the face of it but also appears to be lacking the GPS module to make the Sat Nav work. I imagine it isn't as expensive to buy as the other branded headunits (for most of them, the GPS costs more than the HU!) but worth mentioning.
Oh really?! i phoned them up to ask them and they told me it dint support iPhone 5 until an update is realised maybe i was lied to lol
but yeah the JVC is really good! I love it

@cl505 i have the earlier pioneer model it charges any iphone/ ipod including my 5s. This model is updated cosmetically with a few minor added features and will charge all iphones exactly as mine does
