ive never had them for car stereo... but ive had tap decks, combination stereo (had cd/tap/radio all in 1) and a cd/mp3 disc player (walkman of the now)... and they all were a big dissappointment to me... all of them had issues... but i do have a mini-usb mp3 player from sony that looks like a thumbdrive... its actually the only sony product ive had thats been a good one... yet to let me down.. have had it about a yr now..

i use it mainly when in out cutting the lawn, working on the cars, or just working in the garage in general...

gotta hate it when they do that... most time i prefer ups to fed-x but lately in our area fed-x is getting better... i had a delivery here last week i think it was i was happy about.. and even commented to the girl delivering it that i was glad they still did SDO's in the area... cuz UPS stopped doing it even when it said on the box it was a SDO...

guess next time im gonna have to look into one of those then... i know my uncle has one in his van and loves it.. but hes not much into CD-R's... maybe someday when this one quits and i have more $$$ floating around ill get a pioneer next time...

course i wanna know why someone needs a "Remote" for their dash stereo when the things not a foot from the steering wheel... have we gotten so lazy now and days that we need a free floating remote to change stations or tracks on a stereo thats not 8 inches away???.. i can understand remotes for cd changers mounted in the trunks.. (cuz i have had 3 different 10 disc changers mounted in my older cars trunks...) but for a head unit.. its just ridicules....
