    Single DIN for Defender... bear with me....

    Having agonised over what system to get for the Disco (for GPS, audio etc) I have now decided (if I can) to sell the Disco and buy a proper Land Rover

    Having considered various options I reckon I'll just use my Galaxy S4 phone for GPS stuff.

    So as far as car audio I need it to have the fopllowing:
    - single DIN
    - ability to stream music etc from the phone (Samsung Galaxy S4)
    - bluetooth
    - affordable but not rubbish.

    OPTIONAL
    - USB memory stick connector.
    - CD player (they all do I think) but that'd be OK too.

    Anyone recommend anything ?

    There's talk of one on page 2 that comes with bluetooth etc with the added bonus it will fit in the defender dash!

    The GPS etc whizz bang thingy that I was going to get for teh Disco (but no good for a shaky ol' Defender) was an Eonon and there are good reports of that brand from some on AULRO.

    Might pop over to their site and see what they have....

    edit: Hmm seems all theirs are GPS models.... Need something more 'basic" I guess.

    Although Eonon also has DVD player / radio tuners etc of which this is a fixed panel single-Din (requires separate monitor).

    Eonon D1001 | Car DVD | 1 Din Car DVD

    One presumes that if it plays DVD's then it would also play CD's ?
    BUT no Bluetooth


    Got me thinking though... maybe there are other in car DVD systems similar but with BT / streaming capability ?

    Hmmmm.

    As far as standard CD/Tuner/ BT units.....

    This one seems OK
    Northfield Car Sound

    CDE-143EBT

    $249 - seems to do everything needed.
    Was hoping for something as capable but a bit cheaper in a less 'high end' brand as should work as well just be cheaper !
