However, where to buy and at what price is not the issue here, as you need to shop around for the best deals.

The Alpine CDE-9870 is my first recommended facelift for your system. This unit comes with signature blue and green illuminated buttons and a push-button volume knob. It is equipped with Full Speed Connection for iPod, so you are ready to hook up to your music player in your car. With 4 x 45 watts, the CDE-9870 plays various media from regular CDs to MP3s, and you can expand your system to add an amp, sub and upgraded speakers for more dynamic sound.

The Alpine delivers sound that is alive and as sweet as you can possibly wish for.

The Clarion DB566USB features intrepid design and sharp impression wrapped up in a single main unit. You can enjoy your favourite MP3/WMA format music files played directly from USB memory players thanks to the incorporation of a USB port. Seamless compatibility with a wide range of media extends your enjoyment.

Overall, the Clarion DB566USB delivers clear bass and truly impressive sound quality.

The Pioneer DEH-P8950BT CD/MP3 player is packed with all the high-end audio features you would expect from Pioneer - like MP3, WMA and AAC file playback, one-bit digital filter for eight-time up-sampling, and a Bimetric equaliser (BMX). The power supply makes use of Mosfet 50 watts x 4 high power, which is known to have very stable power output.

The Sony CDX-GT450S features MP3, WMA files and ATRAC3 Plus playback compatibility to enhance your listening experience. It has three pre-amp outputs with a 24-bit digital-to-analogue converter. There is an array of connectivity options, including a Front Auxiliary Input for easy convenient portable music player integration, such as CD changers.

Other features include a large selectable seven-colour back-lit LCD display, detachable face and S-Mosfet 208 watts Max (52 x 4).

Choose one of these unforgettable head units and you can't go wrong.
