JVC KD-G611 + KT-DB1000

At £144.97 on its own, the G611 head unit is impressively cheap, although it lacks some of the clever technology found on more expensive exotica. The special combined price - which includes the DAB box and an internal glass-mounted aerial - kept this JVC system competitive. As with its Best Buy brother, the performance was very good; the system found five ensembles, making changing between stations a breeze. With a better head unit, this would be a real contender.
