lidl Car Radio £39.99
Tony
For the money the spec on this looks extremely good, especially the record &
remote control facility, it doesn't say anything about the frequency
coverage in the description, however the identical looking KH2380 -
<http://www.mysilvercrest.de/en/artikel.php?a=98> says that it has a 3-band
PLL tuner (UKW, MW, LW) along with RDS.
I would certainly give it a go for my (51) Ford focus if I thought that it
would be easy to replace, as the fitting in the original cassette radio -
which IMV was far outdated even when fitted! - appears to be a bit
unconventional, is there any kind of adaptor kit available to make it a
straightforward job TIA.

Yep, adaptors to standard DIN size are easily available from Halfrauds, eBay
et al.
Not all replacements will work with the Ford steering wheel controls, if
that is important to you. For further advice, you could try asking in
alt.autos.ford.focus.

Interesting feature - never come across one before that records! Pity it
doesn't have skip forwards / backwards on the recorded stream like a
PVR. That would be useful to decipher some of the traffic announcements
and presenter foul-ups.

If previous experiences have been anything to go by then I suspect that it
will be a one off limited number per branch and a wait outside before they
open, that is if they haven't all been bought already by the staff.

Philips made a cassette one which would record from radio or mic in the
'70s. Had a weird mechanical station selector - you pushed a knob to
toggle through the stations. Ok when there was only a few, I suppose.
My current Blaupunkt DAB radio records to SD card.

I often thought this would be a neat feature, however a timer function
would be even more useful , although you possibly would not want to
leave the car radio on 'standby' like your PVR for obvious reasons..

Pretty well every car radio has an unswitched supply to maintain its
station etc memory so it would be easy to incorporate a timing function.
Indeed, my Blaupunkt will work with the 'ignition' fed supply off by
pressing the on button. For perhaps when passengers are left in the car.
But 'times out' after a short period.

On standard fit Ford radios of the last decade or so, pressing the power on
button with the ignition key in the 0 position gives you one hour of use.

Yep, that as well ;-)

delivered (3 sold by 8.30am).
not yet installed, but looks good, and I have the instruction manual,
so if you have any questions, I'll come back here later today
(thursday) to try and answer them.
It supports USB and MP3 players to 2GB and SD/MMC cards to 4GB
Chose this as my Fiat has steering mounted controls and didnt want to
lose this facility. This player comes with a remote control, so, while
the steering wheel controls won't work, I can still adjust stuff
without looking at the radio, which is acceptable for the money (a
steering wheel adaptor for my 98 Fiat Punto looked to cost 40 squid at
least - more than this radio!)
Cheers Judy
