My car stereo sucks. It's the cheapass Honda default one. The CD player won't play burned CDs. I want a new one. I know next to nothiong about car audio except that everyone else has a better stereo than I. Does anyone know anything about this?

Stuff I want:

cheap
plays burned CDs
cheap
has a line-in for playing from ipod (nice, but not required)
cheap

I've got my original Acura one sitting in a closet. I'm not sure if it will play burned cd's or not (I think it does), and it does not have a line in, but it is a decent head unit. It should be a very simple replacement also. If you want, you can try it out and see.

I was keeping it to put back whenever I sold my Integra, but with all the custom audio modifications done to it, it's not worth it.

Mine is the cheap-ass Jeep one. It plays SOME burned CDs on some media at some burn rates... but alter any of those variables in the equation and you get possible coasters.

I've solved this problem by buying an archos jukebox and saying to hell with getting a new player. When the stereo FINALLY dies, I'll replace it with an in-dash MP3 player... or maybe a CD player that plays mp3 cds as well.

Hah! I see your crappy Honda default and raise you a crappy Ford default that plays cassette tapes!

I'd talk to Cody or Jim H. for recommendations.

honda what year?

i have a honda civic, 95, with the original stereo system. head unit has a cassette deck and is linked to a 5 or 6 cd changer in the trunk (came with car).

when i got the car almost a year ago, i put REAL cds in the cd player, and, alas, IT DIDN'T READ ANY OF THEM!

have been wanting a new player ever since. love my follow-up, eh?

most pioneer, and kenwods you can get a cable that plugs into the port for a cd changer that gives you a line in. I got a refurb kenwood at the outlet up on 75 -- one warning -- it died after less thaan a yearr -- i've had 2 of this model that died -- so maybe it's just that one :(
