ok guys iam asking for some advice, i need a new head unit. I want MP3 and good quality that will last for a while, my blaupunkt lasted just over a year, and i paid 2 much for it. i really dont want to pay too much over 150 for one.. Also were the hell can u get em online beside crutchfield(ripoff). thanx guys i have no idea about this stuff and any help would be awsome.-ben

I like my Alpine CDA-9807. It was a bit more than $150 though. You might want to look at Sony. They came out with one of the first MP3 decks, so they might be in the affordable, $150 range by this point.

I haven't been a big fan of Sony car audio since the 80's, maybe this Kenwood would meet your needs, it's just a bit outside of your $150 range.

I don't have any experience with buying from any on-line sites, so I can't recommend one over the other.Another thing would be to go to Circuit City and check their Open Box buys.

Look at this, this should give you an idea.

I get all my stuff from eBay (lowest prices almost always)

Back to which head unit: All should cost you under 150 without shipping or tax

Jensen MP3310Sony CDX-MP40

and my personal choice

Pioneer DEH-P4500MP

I owned 3 pioneer decks, I think they are the best bang for the buck, quality is very high never had any problems, and they keep their value…sold my DEH-3400 for 85 bucks (bought it for 132 more then a year ago)
