Head Units for Car MP3 Players?

Posted by Cliff on from the cool-conversation-pieces-for-the-dashboard dept.

dotcomian asks: "The idea of hooking our iPod to our car's audio system so far is our best shot for musics on the go in cars, however, it requires a double investment to the head unit. I'm wondering if someone has a better way to replace cd-changers with MP3 jukeboxes, the head units would be the controller and/or a CD player. I've found several websites from google's search result, but nothing is close to what I have in mind. Any ideas?"

    I've got the same one and am *very* happy with it. It'll load an mp3 cd in a few seconds and navigates through folders quickly.

    Circuit City pays $240 for them, but marks them up to something like $399, ouch! It helps to have a friend working somewhere that sells one of these things so you can get a good price. :)
