Hi guys,

I'm hunting for a head unit which can take USB keys. Budget up to $250.
Any recommendation?

Do you care what brand it is? You'll find plenty @ JB Hifi or Strathfield Car Radios. Has a USB port and SD slot. They are like yum cha brands..

Here's on $249

I do want sound quality. From the net I could get something like:
$149
http://www.crazysales.com.au/index.php?productID=108

or even this one for $80 bucks !!!

I doubt their quality for sure.

Does clarion make a great one?
Keep the recommendation coming thanks.

It's always those yum cha brands that pack the "features" but they just look to cheap and not quality...

From my experience Clarion makes decent head units.

JVC FTW....there prices are very reasonable as well they stick around the pioneer and kenwood mark and still have probarly better features...stay away from sony IMO...i find them to be a crappy car audio brand but thats my opinion

Speaking of yum cha, have a read, even the Chinese don't want Chinese made product...
