I have spent the last couple of years putting together a decent stereo in my car. It nothing crazy and it would be better if I had more money, but i'm in college so thats how it goes. But none of that really matters if you don't have the faceplate for the stereo. Ya somehow i managed to misplace the facelate a couple of nights ago. it really sucked and now im gonna have to go buy a new radio. It's actually kinda cool though cuz now i have an excuse to go buy a nicer radio

 

what are you looking at getting?

 

there is a website, if u like i could find it that sells faceplates but the one i was looking for was 60 and i stole the cd player from a junkyard so i didnt feel it was worth getting

 

I work in car stereos at Best Buy so i get a pretty good discount. So i will probably get either the Alpine CDE-9885 or the Alpine iDA-X001. Either one I get, I am also gonna get the Ipod adapter.

 

cool i just got a new sony yesterday and it has the ipod adapter and i love that thing

 

i have messed with a lot of radios in my business and I have found the Pioneers and the Alpines to have the easiest Ipod conectivity to use. Also alpine has made good solid units for a long time. hopefully i dont lose the faceplate to this one

 

ah i work at circuit, do you guys carry panasonic because they were the first radio we carried under 200 to have a full two line display (song title and artist) and their ipod control was just as easy as pio

 

no we don't carry panasonic. we have Pioneer, Alpine, JVC, Sony, Kenwood, Dual, and Insignia (the last 2 suck *****, and are very cheap)

Also......
funny story... i found the faceplate. It was buried under some shoes in my closet. I kinda got lucky and when i was grabbing some shoes for work i just happened to see the edge of the case. guess im not gonna get a new one,but thats cool it a Pioneer DEH-P5800 so its a pretty good radio anyway.
