I bought an 'Ultimate waterproof Car Cover' - both for the scorching hot weather, and then today, the rain.

Love the chequer plate on the back door.

See: https://www.pioneer-car.eu/uk/products/deh-s420bt One option is to listen to RTE on your phone (and use Bluetooth to connect to the Pioneer head unit)

Check out Pioneer DEH-S420BT. It has a radio, CD player, Bluetooth and a USB port for charging your phone. Spotted in Halfords for £119, or £194 fitted.
