Thinking about swapping headunit?

People,

Thinking about swapping the BMW headunit for something with ipod and bluetooth. I don't really want amazing sound or anything like that but I only drive the car 3k miles a year and when I do drive it, it tends to be longet than 30-45 mins and getting to a meet or a track where you can't always drive foot flat to the floor all the time. I have an iphone so it would make sense to get a decent head unit to listen to the music I have on it and also be able to take calls from the mrs. and kids.

So my questions really are: has anyone got any tips on which headunit to go for and also I'm not sure I want to bugger around with speakers etc. so will the head unit alone make a difference? I'm not interested in spending more than a couple of hundred quid really. Are there speakers that just replace what's in there at the moment and are they expensive and do they make a difference?

Anyone got any thoughts on this head unit? http://www.alpine-europe.com/home/pr...ts/cde-104bti/

Thanks.
