Keep in mind what works for one person may not be suitable for another.  For
instance, it was suggested that a CD player is passee.  For those of you who
are done with CDs, that's great. But what if you listen to audio books on
CD?
Yes, there are options for that with the aux. input but I like to keep the
option open.
Actually, I still use the original am/fm/cassette still and use a 12 CD
player with
a radio frequency connection to the head unit.  Yes, I know it sound archaic
but I
listen to alot of audio books on CD and tape.  It's how I roll on long
trips.   And when
I want to listen to mp3 I just play a player through another fm transmitted
player.
Sounds great......

So look at what you need and take some of the tips from those who've posted
but
not all advice be your cup of java.....

Cheers!

Steven
