I´ve ordered RD45. It´s with dual antenna input:

Front panel on this model is too wide and it has to be shortened, also I have to install new version of Lexia so that I can enter the VIN, and redo some wiring for my external amplifier, buy and install speaker to line level converter + MiniDSP, make USB-lead and install it to the center console and so on. If everything goes well, it might be in use in the summer.

It´s not going to be easy though, because there´s so many if´s... USB-support and bluetooth sound quality and useability should be top notch (I´m not easily pleased on these things), I should get MiniDSP work with speaker level to line level converter without sound quality problems and and and....

Yes it´s from China and the price is really cheap (under 70€ including shipping). We´ll see if it´s lemon or not (lemon would fit nicely for Citroen :P).
