I got an Aiwa. It played mp3's and was on sale, so I bought it before seeing it. It turns out that it does this cool flip maneuver to look like there's no head unit. About $130 Circuit City.

I've got an old *** Pioneer DEH-P2000. At one point, after listening to Ravel's Bolero, the CD player stopped playing CDs. Months later, it started working again. That scores them some bonus points for Jesus-style resurrection. I probably won't replace it until it dies (again) or I have enough spare cash to grab a unit that plays MP3s.

I got a Nakamichi CD-40z mostly because of the subtle stock-like looks. It works well (which seems unfortunately uncommon for Nakamichi as of late), sounds good, and looks great. You can order them with Amber display, too. It doesn't match the FD dash lighting exactly, but at least it is close. I got mine for a deal on uBid ($140-ish), and they sent me the green one, despite my request for amber. I kept it, figuring it would be hard to swap for amber, and I am quite happy with it. The display is very clear day or night, it has decent internal power, and the CD never skips during normal driving despite my bone rattling suspension. It also has a rotary volume **** and detachable face (does anyone use this feature? I wish they would make more fixed-face units), but doesn't play MP3s. The controls are nice and simple. You can get a CD-45z with a nice A/D section, or a CD-35z if you don't need CD changer controls (I don't, but the deal I found was on the CD-40z so that's the one I bought). It is hard to find a subtle looking head unit these days -- they typically have way too many flashing lights and crap for my taste. The Nakamichi is basic black with green or amber display (not switchable -- you must order the color you want). It is wonderfully plain. I wish they all looked like this.



I just put a cheap Kenwood KDC-119 in my daily driver. It was cheap and seems to work great. Some of the eq features are hard to figure out, and it just has buttons for volume control, but I like it overall. It is black, silver, blue, and green.
