http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Double-2-Din- ... 1525394710

all for a tight £100. now thats better than the ford valve radio i have at the moment
Double 2 Din 7" In Car GPS DVD CD Player


GPS Sat Navigation
(not including GPS map)
SD/USB Support
RDS, iPod
Touch Screen
Subwoofer Output
Steering Wheel Control
Built-in Bluetooth
FM Transmitter
Analog TV

i can add the DAB radio to it and the Garmin GPS maps i prefer to use and of course the rear view reversing camera can get plugged into it as well rather than having a separate tv screen

so tech peeps, good choices or bad choices or better choices out there i have not seen yet

heres the budgets
CCTV forward and reversing, sides would be nice £150 max
Alarm system, No,3 £100 max, does not have to be insurance grade as it does not matter but must have sat tracker and GMS phone text generator and dont worry about the sounder as that cable goes to a relay feed for other items
ICE OR IVE ?? £150-£200 max
DAB radio, INPUT from aux and or ipod, FM/AM/LM as i am a radio freak, reversing a camera screen and input , out puts will go to an amp i all ready own and speakers i all ready own to, its just a all round head set i need
