Default MP3 Disc Changers..?
Any rec for a good MP3 Disc changer?

I am keeping the stock Bose CD radio in my 99 and simply would like the ability to add a 10 or 12 disc MP3 capable unit.

I've read about JVC and Sony changers, but looking for feedback from ppl here about pros/cons etc.

(Prices from Crutchfield.com)
$159 - JVC CH-X1500RF = 12-disc Add-on FM CD/MP3 Changer
$199 - Sony CDX-565MXRF = 10-disc Add-on CD/MP3 Changer

Thanks!

i just order one of these, it is a little more money, but it looks like it will be worth it because the unit is transportable

I looked at the website for the Neo MP3 player, it seems like a neat product, but IMO the FM modulator should come with the unit, but it looks like you can use a generic FM modulator if ya need to. But tell us how it works out....IF / WHEN I ever upgrade my HU, im sure to get something like that, it seems the only way to go.

from what i read, the fm modulator doesn't work nearly as well as using an aux input on an aftermarket head unit, or using the stockers cd changer input

I've got the Sony X-Plod 10 disc changer and it works great. Mounted the control in the ashtray. 10 MP3s play forever.
