Well the first one looks cooler, though its alot more expensive. Sony is generally a good choice either way. The first link also has a better rating and they usually do sway my decisions, though its not a big difference in score. If you're cheap like me you may consider the cheaper one even if it isnt as cool.

Re: Need opinions on car cd player

Also keep in mind what the expected purpose if it will be. If you are going to be putting it in a show car for display purposes, then having a flashier head unit may be more important. But if you are just using it driving around town, does it really matter if it has a full color screen with 583 different settings? Probably not as most people will just set it once and then basically forget about it.

For me personally, I favor how easy it is to use, particurlay without having to look at it, over how it looks. How it sounds obviously also is a contributing factor although most decks are going to sound essentially the same (in most cases). It may look flashy in the store and for the first few days, but after you get use to it, you won't look at it that much to watch the perty animations.

i think ive decided to go with the first one, although more expensive much nicer, and a few more features, it will look nice and be worth it in the end
