You would be lucky to get an in dash dvd setup for that kind of money, of any quality. Clarion do some nice headunits with semi motorised 7" (I think) screens. You would then need to get a seperate DVD player to go in the boot or elsewhere such as a cd changer.

A friend has got this setup in his Alfa and it works well. Ill see if i can get model no's and prices as I will be seeing him in the morning.

the Clarion head units are quite nice. I have one in mine. My main gripe is the user interface on it is a bit crap and not the most intuitive. I've not seen the latest units but I think they have the same interface. Pioneers are IMHO are the most user friendly. They'll most likely be above your £600 budget though.

im looking at clarion model no vrx928rvd £1100 fitted
and the vrx848rvd £1250 looks like good stuff

I have the 928 Clarion model. it's a very nice unit but I wouldn't pay £1100 for it. I'd have a play with the interface first to see if you can live with it. For example, if you pop an MP3 CD with folders into it, to change folders requires about 5 keypresses and taking your eyes off the screen instead of a simple up and down button.

check the kenwood and pioneer units out as well.

don't know about the w203 but on a w202 the ignition does indeed have to be on all the time and it does have issues with steering wheel controls. Even Clarion's own steering wheel mounted control doesn't work on it. How stoopid is that!
