I would agree that the output of the 200 series in not great - it's loud enough in the enclosed MG, but nowhere near what I've achieved in other installs. I've got four 4" speakers (two in the door, and two in the rear side panels) powered by the head unit, and then an active Blaupunkt sub woofer behind the front seat which gives a good punchy bass.
I was looking at a similar setup on the old Aero, for the GTN I will probably keep it more simple - but never say never..
Hi,
I do agree with some of the comments being made
about the Becker Mexico 7948. A previous owner of my Aeromax fitted one before I acquired the car (I am the third owner) and it ceratinly fits the retro style of the car very well. However it is very expensive to purchase (£2000+ with s couple currently being offered on Ebay) and not very intuitive to use. It certainly has a lot of features, but the manual which I have downloaded of the internet might as well be written in swahili for all the use it is in getting to grips with changing settings. The blue-tooth hands free connection to my iphone works well and so is useful but the built in satnav is less so as Becker are no longer interetsted in providing aftermarket support for this prodcut and so neither the software or the maps can be updated. This, and the very limited screen means that if I need a satnav facility in places I am unfamiliar with then I just use one of the multitude of mapping apps available for my iphone.
Hope these thoughts help you make up your mind which way to go.

Thanks Malcolm, after all the feedback I have definately changed my stereo want this - and I think I will look for something else as buggy functionality would drive me mad!
