I have a stock 6 cd changer in my car. Sometimes I get bored of the songs, you know the deal .. takes time to switch through cds, and to eject.

I am considering buying this - http://www.amazon.com/Sony-CDX-GT330-Compliant-Receiver-adapter/dp/B001EYU6LO

do you think its better to have an mp3 deck where I can just throw like 100 songs on a CD, or to have the 6 cd changer?

Get something you can sync an ipod or Blackberry with, then just use those. Saves you money on CDs and much less likely to skip on our terrible roads.

Well that cd player i linked in the first post has AUX in, on the front of it, so it can play mp3 players and all too.

Neither. For me it's a PITA going through MP3's on a CD and using the Changer. I have these features on my Coupe and except for 680 News, I rarely use it. I use my BOLD or 32GB 2G touch.


Use the AUX Input with your iPod/BlackBerry/MP3.

So either way.. have to get the mp3 deck, for the AUX input right?

That means you need the ipod in hand to switch through songs. This can get irritating or dangerous. The one you linked in the first post, if you scroll down to the accessories section, you'll see a $10 ipod adapter that lets you control everything from the actual head unit. Either way would work though.

I dont have an ipod, just an mp3 player. ... and wouldnt reaching down to the deck be more dangerous as opposed to bringing the player to me?

Unless you really want to control the iPod using the Deck, it's not needed.

Make a Playlist in advance, if you think you can't control your MP3 while driving.

Well I need the deck in order to play music in my car using my mp3 player. You know? because right now, I have no way to do it.
It's like... $63.99

Oh, yeah.. I've dealt with FM transmitters in the past, I've never been pleased with the sound quality though. There always seems to be some static and all
