Car MP3 player recommendation

G

i'd like to keep it in the 150-300 dollar range if thats realistic.....

just needs to be able to play mp3/cd and a radio would be nice too...

so yeah any recommendations....


I'm sure this is a repost but new products come out all the time soooooooooo
 
Ive had the jvc kd-sh99 since it came out. Has been nothing but great. I dont know what the newer models are now but I recommend JVC.
 
I had a JVC SH99 in my last car. It's still working, but I have some unknown error codes with the eject feature (motorized stuff sucks on any headunit). I have a JVC KD-AR3000 in my current car and it works well. Tasteful display, ergonomics, and a great screen with smooth scrolling titles (many units are jerky, like most Alpines).

Alpines Jerky?

I just dropped 3K in my Car Audio and my Alpine headunit is not jerky at all.

Thanks guys for your recommendations....

I went with the Alpine CDA-9827


I bought it at tweeter where it was listed for 279.00 my boy is a former employee and they still gave him a discount....so I only paid 215.00 plus tax so it came to 227.00 out the door.

What a sweet head unit. I'm thoroughly delighted with my decision. 170 songs on a cd owns me.
 
I've got a JVC KS-980 or something like that... I've had it for 2 years now... great product, fast searching, random mode... works perfectly.

I'm sure the newer JVC brand decks are even better (mine has faceplate 1/8th input)... I can hook my ipod up to it and let the music play..
 
i had the sh-77 3 years ago, went bad due to heat but i sent it in and they sent me the new kd-sh909 free of charge, jvcs service is a+.

alpine makes great decks, i sold two type r's and a sony 1600w amp last year, i love alpine.
 
Back in 2001 I got an Aiwa MP3 CD car stereo... it was seriously great... the only part lacking was when you switch away from the mp3 cd and then u come back to it, it only remembers the song, not the exact time you left off, so you have to hear the song over again... that was my only complaint...

Now with my new honda, i got the factory installed cd mp3 player... this one is great... reads fast... remembers everything... but the freaking thing doesnt have a display... so i have hundreds of song, but nothing displays the name =P

mp3.com used to have a great guide to car stereo's but I Don't think they have it anymore =T
 
Get the Panasonic 783U . Gunmetal silver/blue lights , very clean look. Has ran great for the past 2 years. I picked it up for $175. Removeable faceplate. Non-motorized meaning it won't break.

But he won't have the tilt options. I love the tilt on my deck. Makes it so much easier to press things.
