Advice Please?
 

I am getting sick of my factory cd player screwing up so I am now looking into a new stereo. Its been awhile since I bought one. Does anyone know of one that plays the MP3 disks and all at a good price?? Looking for something thats fancy too. Thanks.

Here's my deck, $180 + Install kit, MSRP is over 300. Plays MP3 cd's uses the file names for text too, not the ID3 tags. 2 preouts, IR capability (to keep steering wheel controls) and has LOTS of power and a good sound. I used to own a pioneer with it's crazy EQ but i installed one of these on a friends 91 firebird and i loved it. Red lights look great at night, i even have videos of it in action, with the moving bars that go along the bottom if you want....

I recently upgraded my stereo (again after being stolen :evil: ) but while I was out looking at stuff I had noticed most decks over the $150 price range are now MP3 compatable (most, not all). I personally have a $500 Pioneer which I am guessing is more than you want to spend, but there are a lot of them out the now and most large chain audio stores will have a good selection to choose from. As far as a personal recomendation I looked within a higher price range and haven't kept up on the more "affordable" priced decks. (I got this thing about haveing to get the best I possibly can :roll: )

Pioneer's line has a steering wheel remote if your car does not currently have steering wheel controls for the radio. I have a Pioneer Premier HU, with XM tuner. Nice setup. The EQ's are very nice. Someone did a poll a while back for brand preference, don't know if you want to go back and try to find it.

any pictures of your steering wheen remote setup?

thanks

They also have those MP3 "kegs" as an option :wink:

my cd player the reason i bought it was that it plays MP3's. i played i think 280 for everything. oh and it has a remote too

The remote works fine from all the positions that I would think of adjusting anything while steering. The volume buttons are on the rear of the remote. I love this thing!

wow i like that remote i wonder if they sell one like that for mine?
