Re: FM modulated CD Player (archive)

1.) Since the RF Mod changers are intended as add-on, you won't get the integration with the radio display/controls. I find this irksome.
2.) CD on an RF Mod won't (can't) sound any better than FM stereo... your ears will tell you if this is an issue in your car. My hearing sucks, I can tell the difference.
3.) If you're willing to part with $300, Aiwa has a pretty cool CD/CDRW head unit. Cool part is that it can read MP3 disks, so you can get about 10 hours on a
single disk in your dash. Downside is that you have to rip/encode/record or download the tracks you want and burn a CD.
4.) For about $350 I got a GREAT deal on Blaupunkt CD head unit and changer from Crutchfield... system works great, looks great. Some recent posts tell you where to get a Blaupunkt Toronto for about $150.00 My advice: SNAP ONE OF THESE UP AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!!! The Toronto (CD) and Sydney (Cassette) look like they were designed for this car! Installation was VERY straightforward for the head, somewhat more involved for the changer because I over-complicated it.

Recommend passing on the RF Modulated changers. Personal preference.

I saw a Pioneer 8 disc CD Player at SAMS for $200, with wireless remote, and the box says it will work with any factory radio. Has anyone used one of these? Do they really work?
