CD/Mp3 player Questions
I'm looking at some new CD/MP3 players for Xmas. I am leaning towards a flip around head unit, one that has a black display panel and flips around to display all the controls. I found the Sony CDX-M8805X which looks pretty good but was worried about quality issues with Sony, as I've heard of some problems with them.

I think..could be wrong but Sony and Kenwood are the only two that make radios like that. Flip the face that is. The Kenwoods called them mask radios. I have seen alot of those fail. Anytime you have extra moving parts you are going to have a higher chance of failure. As for Sony...I have seen only a couple fail..very small percentage. Heck...every CD player made by anyone has Sony chips in it.

I bought an Alpine 9835 and their interface to the Ipod. Works great, I recommend it. Search by playlist, artist or song. Had the installers put the plug in the center console. Also charges the Ipod while playing. Interface was $50 if you bought a head unit.
