Thanks Zac, im the same as that fellow, seen the pic of yours (on the best headunit in a corrado thread) and wanted 1, chewed on it for a while and just when i decided to bite the bulitt and buy 1 they seem to be discontinued, typical, dont suppose you want to sell yours :D

What was the becker like? Are they good for SQ? I've just been offered a 7945 for decent money but the fact it can do so much puts me off a bit. I just want it to sound good but all the bells and whistles do attract me to an extent. Bluetooth pairing with the phone for example would be useful.

A 7945 will have excellent sq, its the predecessor to the Cascade i'm using at the moment so i can recomend it. The thing with beckers is that they sound good out the box, and require minimal adjustments if any. A 7945 will have a bit more adjustability than say a Mexico or Grand Prix as you have variable crossovers and a basic 5 band eq but the sound is great. If you can get one cheap then i would definately get it. They also have the benefit of blending in with the dash so do not draw much attention.

Any idea what a good price would be for it? It was launched in 2005 but it was a £900 headunit!
