I had one of these fitted:

It has inputs for mini SD card, USB, phono and some of them accept a Bluetooth connection as well.
It works brilliantly for the price

Brerlan - do you have any pictures of how you have it fitted and can you confirm whether it’ll play and charge an iphone from the usb? I like the idea of being able to skip tracks from the car controls...

Hi Dark blue, I had mine fitted inside the glove box because I only use the SD card and USB inputs. It emulates (and uses the connections for) the CD changer I believe. It's very compact so if you wanted the connections easily accessible, I'm sure you could find somewhere for it to go. I don't know whether it does deliver a charge from the USB or play from the iPhone; I'll check and get back.

p.s. mine's midnight blue as well - great colour

I wonder how good the Bluetooth function is on these
