Re: In-Dash CD Players...
I actually just want to get rid of the stock BOSE head-unit. Everyone
on the list that has replaced the head-unit says the difference is
NIGHT and DAY. I do wish to get a CD player (in-dash or changer)
but I'm not ready to fork out the money for both a head-unit and
changer at the same time. I want to get an in-dash CD Player (with
CD Changer controls for later) and get some music pumping through
those BOSE amp/speakers.
I have been leaning toward the in-dash anyways because I don't want
to have to stop the car and go to the trunk to listen to something
different that isn't currently in the CD magazine. I like the idea of just
inserting any CD I wish at any moment while driving. I can get a CD
changer later for loading my favorites.
