Default My stereo dilemma

I have an 02 M6 Coupe with a 12 disc changer but cassette up front and I hate it lol. Im think of getting a cd/mp3 deck but then id have to get a new changer (not happenin). I figure if I have a mp3 deck that can fit 150-200 mp3s if kind of evens itself out. What ya think?

Get a head unit that interfaces with iPod. 1,000's of songs. Per Alpine, they are phasing out the MP3 drive players.

Here's mine

You do need converters to interface with the Bose amps/speakers... look for PAC audio, I think thats the company which makes the adapter most people use.

I used one in order to add an additional amp/subs to my factory system.

I've never heard of one for the antenna...
perhaps someone else can chime in on that.

i installed a alpine 9833 it is a mp3/wma player , i put 400+ wma songs on one disc, really all i needed, i know i should have changed all the speakers with my upgrade but i just added a sub and amp with the hu, i used a soundgate adapter to keep the front are rear bose speakers, its sound great now. i have basically 2 8" subs up front and a 10 in the rear.
