My friend used to have an Aiwa that had an input on the face, it was just a head phone jack, but it allowed me to play my minidisc player on it

Are there any newer head units that have CD/MP3 capability that also has an input on the face


if not
how bout one that has an AUX input, that I can wire up so that I can use my portable minidisc player in the car

 

I hate the FM broadcaster

it has bad sound quality and I go thru batteries too quikly

 

i have a sony cdx-800m? and it has rear-RCA aux inputs but its a pricey head unit

 

jvc kd-sx990 that'll do it for ya pretty cheap too

any others?

 

many decks have built in auxillary inputs or have the capability to do so with an extra cabling plugged behind the radio. Clarions have theirs built in, Alpine needs an extra $20 cord and pioneer needs an extra $40 one. They are in the form of an RCA. You can very easily just use a monster cable ipod dual RCA that has works great and looks good and feed it through the lower pocket below your new radio after drilling a small hole in the back. 5064430403 is the model that has two male rca ends and a 1/8" headphone plug on other end.

 

the hardwired fm/rf modulators are much better than the ones that plug into your cigarette lighter or off batteries and broadcst a weak signal through the air to your cars antenna. rf modulator is physically connected between your cars antenna extension and the antenna plug behind the dash and is hardwired to the car's electrical system.

 

You should get any Alpine that has the Ai-Net changer controls and get the KCA-121b AUX adaptor. It's only $20 for the part. Plus Alpines are good decks.
