I don't have it but follow consumer electroinics pretty good, if you could get it for $200 installed I would do it, Panasonic is solid not sure personaly how Clean there power is but I suspect avrage.

Ratboy · 09-05-2004, 12:04 PM

Do you have any suggestions for any other cd player?

i'm just kinda comparing.

Nick C. · 09-05-2004, 12:15 PM

I see best buy has a simular Pioneer head unit for sale at $179, I think pioneer( DEH-P4600MP) makes the best head units for the money.

So you can make MP3 or WMA(Windows Media Audio) CD's with about 100 songs on them, says it has some technolgy to make them sound better.

Ratboy · 09-05-2004, 12:31 PM

oh. if you're not gonna use it would it still be worth buying? just like the XM i would never use?

Ratboy · 09-05-2004, 12:33 PM

This is pretty sharp, although its to expensive ($360)

yeah WMA/MP3 and the XM Satalite stuff is pretty much standard now days is not adding any cost to the unit, and you always have the option to utalize them in the future.

yeah that is nice, I always buy stuff a year old or when on sale unless it use;s some Technolgy I have been waiting for. no use in paying a extra $100 for style basicly on something that you should have at least 5 years!

Ratboy · 09-05-2004, 12:46 PM

Only thing about that one, It has a Tape Deck too.. those are just about useless these days.

I like the one you showed me, i might invest in something like that, ill head up to bestbuy in a few days.

The only reason they use the Tape Deck **** still is for the MP3(Ipod) Adaptors, don't know why they just don't slap some RCA inputs on front of the thing.

Ratboy · 09-05-2004, 12:54 PM

I dont use mp3, or ipods, so its worthless for me.

i do like this one. its not quite what i was looking for (i love the blue) but can be affordable, ill look around, but this still remains on top of the list.

Ratboy · 09-05-2004, 02:05 PM

Might sound stupid, but If i buy this one, how would i work the mp3/wma? do i need to buy a mp3? or what

Ratboy · 09-05-2004, 02:09 PM

i found a site for 140. but ofcoarse id have to install it, and i have no clue how to so that

mp3 is a codec that allows you to listen to music in cd quality with the only difference that the files are up to 10 times smaller, hence you can easily download them etc.

you then simply burn the mp3 files to a cd and play them in your car .. i bought a jvc kd-g401 for 130 euros a few weeks ago and im satisfied with it.

go to a garage and ask them how much theyd charge you for installing a cd player in your car. they wont need more than 10 minutes for that.

Ratboy · 09-05-2004, 02:54 PM

i was reading reviews on the Pioneer DEH-P4600MP and people say its a great cd player, except its hard to undeerstand and you need patience to understand.

i might just buy it at best buy, if the install is free. but someone said its not really free and they seems to charge you

they will charge you for a mounting that is spacific to your car probably $15-20

Ratboy · 09-05-2004, 05:29 PM

so is it worth spending around $200 for that one?
