WTD. Car stereo.

I'm looking for a stereo to go in my ambulance. I've been looking for a CD player that has a pair of aux inputs, one front and one rear mounted and with a remote control, so that I can run the TV through the stereo and operate if from the back of the ambo. Halfords have a nice unit listed that also has blue teeth and with my trade card, it came in at just under £68. But they are out of stock and have been for the past two months. They now say they were discounted as they were 'end of line'. Bugger.
The head unit in my Bongo has all I need apart from the rear aux but I can easily plug the TV and other aux stuff into a splitter behind the dash with a short jack-lead into the front aux. Not ideal but OK.

So, what I'm looking for is, a stereo that ticks all the boxes for the ambo, or a cheapy one to put in the Bongo so I can use the Bongo one in the ambo.... the Bongo will be for sale soon so as long as it works, I'm not too bothered about what it is! And now the crunch.... I've spent all my pocket money on fixing the ambo propshaft and buying a new radiator so whatever I end up with, has to be cheap!!
TIA. Owelly.

Order one of these and tell me if it's a scam

I spotted it this morning, £60 and free international delivery ? Smells a bit fishy to me

Just noticed that one was sold on 31st, feedback left on the 1st.
Delivery my ICBM ?

I'd buy that unit Unc but I don't have a double din hole to fill. My dash is full of screw-holes so butchering it wouldn't be a probby but the unit is a bit deep so I would have to extend the aperture which would then catch the column stalks plus I'd have to relocate the extra switches for my blues and twos.... I have thought about it though!!

I've seen that unit before, for about £150-£200 so the unit itself is real enough. And you'd be paying by paypal so if it hasn't arrived within 45 days you just get your money back?

That feedback has to be from someone who doesn't understand the concept though, look at the other feedback he's left!
