New “80’s” style radio from Pioneer

Post by Alan_M »

Seems Pioneer want to compete with the Blaupunkt retro style car audio - just announced this unit.
Couldn’t find a UK price, but found price in Germany of €399

Since the idea of fitting a standard-fit DIN aftermarket stereo to an everyday car disappeared a decade or two ago, appealing to the classic market is all that's left for the car stereo market.

Plus side is that scum don't bother breaking into cars just to nick the stereo any more (yes, that's happened to me, albeit 20 years ago).

I picked one of these for the EXCEL. They seem to have prices all over the place, buti have several friends with European cars from the 80's and 90''s and it seems everyone really likes them.
