    Default This week at Aldi

    I was just looking through my local ALDI catalouge and found they are selling head units for $50. I thought someone on here might be interested, or have some feedback on quality.
    ALDI - special buys from sat 10 dec - hurry, limited stocks in store*

    $50 for a head unit with, let alone one with USB/SD inputs and MP3 capability, seems alright. I guess the quality is the big unknown.

    Is this the first time ALDI have have had a head unit on sale before, or have they had the before-if they did, what were they like? Should I be kicking myself for buying a Clarion head unit a few months back for $90, or glad I didn't waste my money on something that will only ever be trouble?

    The fact it's $50 and at Aldi should tell you how much quality is involved.

    Actually I have bought some Aldi stuff before, stuff like the Tauras line of power tools, and the like, all still going strong.

    Anyway, its $50 and likely has a 1 year warranty, so who cares if it breaks later. Good luck wiring it though, no adaptors, will have to be done by hand.

    This looks like a better excuse to spend $50 though, ALDI - special buys from sat 10 dec - hurry, limited stocks in store*

    I'll admit it's cheap enough if you were just after something that does the job.

    Holy shit, I wouldn't knock that stereo, it's at least 10 years ahead of the pathetic excuse of a stereo Holden fitted to the VE.

    Just remember LG use to be gold star ...... A lot of companies release products under a different brand name just to test out the quality before they put an alpine brand on it or blaupunkt

    Yeah pretty much any electrical goods sold in ALDI stores are German, and anyone who has half a brain knows that Zee German's over engineer pretty much everything...

    A $50 Head deck with all that's listed, made in Germany = WIN
