I'm about to sell a Pioneer AVH3500DAB, nice unit, sounds great and does Bluetooth audio

Always enjoyed using mine, does hands free phone, Bluetooth audio, connects to iPod, change colour scheme to suit, and sounds great

Mine looks ill fitting, rarely pairs properly, but yea I suppose I'm being harsh, it's in my work van & it does the job. Ideally I'd go for something a bit better fitting than that for my golf.

I'll second the DNX525DAB, has absolutely everything you need, apart from MFD integration.  Full Bluetooth audio streaming, DVD, MP3, MP4, USB, Micro SD slot.  had mine nearly two years and love it still!

Ahh, so the 525dab supports BT audio streaming then? It's just the older modes that don't?

Something like this will give Bluetooth audio to the dnx521

So what are the key differences in the DNX 520/521/525?
