The beat 100 stereo is the latest to arrive from Beat (Connect 2, MES) car audio outfit. The unit is aimed towards the entry level car audio market, however this doesn’t mean that the unit provides a below par performance. In actual fact the unit works as well as any other entry level units whether it be sony, alpine or kenwood.

The Beat 100’s main function is still primarily based on the CD function, which can ply MP3. However the unit also supports USB via a flip down plug with access on the front of the headunit, this allows any USB Flash-drive to be connected, and you have access to 1000’s of your favourite tracks and control them via your headunit, cool ay..

The Unit its self is also pretty cool looking, taking advantage of the “OLD SKOOL” style that seems to be popular at the minute, Its Orange display & highlights on the features make the Beat 100 different to pretty much everything else on the market at the minute (certainly in this price bracket anyway….) With two raised dials to the left of the unit that control other features that the 100 offers the Stereo resembles many other stereos layouts but retains its own style….

The built in Amp (4 x 25w) will allow the novice to build a relatively good system around this unit, and utilise the USB functionality to store thousands of you favourite tracks to listen to. This is a must have stereo if you cant afford to run with the big boys….
