Hi,

I'm looking for a nice stereo for my 2004 R50. I think it has the standard CD-Player in it (no clue what brand/model).

New one should be:
- simple design; fitting in with the lightning/interior and not attracting thiefs
- good quality; it must feel nice
- Bluetooth for my phone
- USB
- compatible with Android
- maybe upgradeable
- not crazy expensive

Any suggestions? Or is the standard unit upgradeable with USB and Bluetooth?

Thanks!

Hi

I don't know if this is any help have a look around this site there might be something that grabs you. And fits with your standard stereo set up

I kinda like it, though I think I might just upgrade the existing boost with bluetooth and aux in. Can't find a simple designed headunit (they all draw much too much attention these days with all that LEDs and screens).

Have no clue which adapters/cables I'd need though. Is the Dension Bluetooth Lite a good idea? Is there any neat solution integrating a microphone somewhere?

Not sure whether it would fit your car but I was just about to advertise my 4 month old DEH-7300BT (which I removed from my other half's car when we sold it last week to replace with R57 cabrio) - if of interest let me know and I can provide more details, it's in excellent condition and still under warranty.
