Retro headunit decesion

[gazjon]

Need some input on what head unit to have in the rascal van. Wanted a period look unit that I will modify to take an ipod/netbook input. These are the options I have:

Kenwood(nice sound had it in my Mk3 cav)


Old pioneer unit that I found knocking around the garage



Finally an audioline headunit I took out of my mums Mk2 Cav, before she crushed it



What are your thoughts?

You might dig this:

I'll be doing this to retain the OEM tape deck in my retro so that I can use a DAB radio.

Murilee did an update on this but I can't make it display in the old blog format and the new Jalopnik format makes the pictures look weird:

What sort of car is it going in?

Rascal van (it's in the first post!)

Personally, if you can get the Pioneer to perform the relevant tricks I'd go with that although the Audioline is probably more era correct?

Doh!

Yeah, Audioline.. looks right out of 1985, the Pioneer looks a bit old for a Rascal and the Kenwood too 90s.

The Audioline is the puppy.

I remember having one just like that in a Mk3 Cortina. The Pioneer looks awesome for a slightly older car.
