I've got an older kenwood, and recently purchased the ipod adapter for it. The stereo can act at a head unit to a CD autochanger, and the adaptor makes the stereo think the ipod is a 100 odd disk autochanger. this means the ipod can go in the glove box out of site, and you can control all the features of the ipod on the stereo, and see the tracks names etc. I belive several uther manufactures do a simular thing.

Do you have family size hatch backs in the US? like the Ford Mondeo
, or new focus
Personaly I'm looking at a jag X-type at the moment, although with the weakness in the dollar at the moment, might not be in your price range

I think Mark has been watching a bit too much Wayne's World.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

And Office Space, presumably while saying out loud on a regular basis "Man, I'm so glad I work in a shop that sells car stereos, and not in an office!"

Why does everyone here seem to be amazingly rich, anyway?

Oh, sweety.... I'm the furthest thing FROM rich. I just have a fucked up sense of responsibility... so car audio comes first [Wink]

At least it used to... since I've been sick, I haven't bought a thing. Wow... that was like a year ago... crazy.

So I live vicariously through everyone else for now [Smile]

Far from rich. Yes I traded in my old car, for an expensive better car and increased my monthly payments by $51. I wouldn't really be worried about getting a new deck if the factory one played MP3's and XM. Sure there are cheaper ones, but there's not a lot of places for my car to improve so I'm focusing on this.

Had a change of mind. Instead of a simple CD/MP3 player I'm going with a Kenwood DDX-7017 double-DIN DVD player. I can get it new and at cost saving me nearly $500. Although during normal city driving I wouldn't try watching a DVD, during long freeway trips it would be a little more useful.

Exactly, right?

Unfortunately when Japanese cars come to America they lack the double-DIN setups which are usually DVD/GPS screens. Instead they equip the American versions with just a standard CD player.

Well at least they have the decency to put in a standard DIN setup instead of some weird-ass aesthetic thing (I'm looking at you, GM).

Oh, honey.

Hobbes.

PLEASE, I pray, PLEASE tell me that you're not going to let Best Buy install that piece.

Please.

Good choice on equipment though.

Umm, hang on a minute! Am I the only one who has a problem with this? I mean, I realise that roads in the US are long and straight and boring, but are you genuinely proposing to watch fucking TV while you DRIVE?!

Reasons not to enter the US, number 74: Hobbies watches DVD's whilst driving, uses Force to navigate.
Lee, do you think we are safe enough with just the Atlantic between him and us? I suggest the US and Canadian flarerites hide behind the Rockies..

Especially given Hobbes = most recent holder of Flare Nasty Car Crashee, and LOA (who's encouraging him to get this absurd device) used to post, on a regular basis, something along the lines of "I just had another car accident, and my stereo got stolen, but I believe in God, so, yay!"
