FS: NEW Kenwood MP3 Head unit with AUX-IN - £39
hobbsy - 3/8/08 at 05:48 PM

While I'm having a fund raising clearout...

I bought this to go in the veg powered Merc I owned for a few weeks before deciding it wasn't for me (the car not the head unit!). I fitted it to the Merc but then took it out within a week as I decided I was selling the car so the old head unit went back in.

Basically it is completely as new, boxed with all cables and instructions and not a mark on it.

Anyway its a KDC-3537A (see photo attached). RRP is £99, I want £39 plus post or collect from Northampton. Postage at cost which I'd guess to be £8.
