Highly recommended Radio/CD Changer!

I've bought 2 of these, and I know a few other forum members picked them up. If you're looking for a replacement changer (holds 6 cd's) that fits almost perfectly in our double-din openings, this is it.
After much searching, I found the solution to getting all the buttons to light up. If anyones interested, I'll post the solution.

After picturing that in my FB, I'm still glad I went the crappy JVC deck.

That thing looks circa 1992. . .

The price has definitely climbed..I think I paid $149.00 for the same unit 9 months ago, I paid $179.00 one month ago. Supply & demand, I guess.
The lights and display are green, BTW. Not the most attractive contrast with our orange original lights, but I must say the thing works beautifully.

Nobody said it's the best. It's just a factory OEM upgrade, that looks like it belongs in the car, rather than a funky fit.

Hmm.

Its a 2003 Mazda stereo. Says 190 watts, do you still keep your factory amps in the storage bins? I imagine that would destroy the factory speakers......right?

Sony X Plod is a nice deck... has sub controls and everything... looks and sounds really good. It's black and red.

I have a JVC Kameleon (goes completely flat and black when off) Looks great with a black or red interior.

I've the Sony MP70, which is silver with red lights in the dieals and buttons, and a color-configurable display set to orange to match the instrumentation in the dash. The red compliments the red in the HVAC controls, so everything looks like it goes together.

The new version of the same stereo puts a black strip down the centre and chrome pieces at either end. Gack.

That's the MP80. The MP70 remains unchanged.

That and a cup are what I have in mine.

I've been changing my illumination from stock orange to blue though - and overall it's been working out nicely. Got mine on ebay for $135 close to a year ago.

Looks like it's pretty close to the current going rate too.
