Not sure how much "not to expensive" is? But this is the system I just installed in my landy. The head unit is Alpine CDA-117Ri which I got from Car audio direct.I also got the seperate Bluetooth unit KCE-400BT ( as a side note, the OH says the quality of the phone conversation is superb and a lot better than the Plantronics bluetooth headset that I paid £60 for Big Cry Plus it comes with a Ipod direct control lead allowing the usb connection(which is used to connect the supplied Ipod lead included with the head unit) on the head unit to be used with a memory stick). I am well chuffed with the quality of the sound using the standard speaker setup, although I will be upgrading the speakers and adding an amp unit in the future Whistle
I even tuned it into the old foggies radio station RTE on long wave for you too see Whistle

It doesn't look out of place in the dash either,

I fed the Ipod/usb cable up into the cubby hole to the right of the steering wheel to allow handy access and to keep the installation tidy

It's a good idea having the Iphone integrated into the head unit, less cables cluttering up the dash. Only downside I can see is when the Iphone 4 is upgraded to Iphone 5, will the new version still work in the head unit?
