Yes i am considering that.. i am kinda pissed off at sony for making me stick with their priopetary technology... and no.. no emotional attachemnt to the sony deck.. was thinking of replaying it for an in-dash cd/mp3 player anyhow... this gives me added incentive to look for one..

there are some nice cd/mp3 in-dash units.. just can't decide on one.... i am looking for a nice clean look, like the jensen in-dash cd/mp3 receiver... or blaupunkt? eh.. too much choice.. any suggestions?

or should i just forget the in-dash cd receiver and just have the rio? i would appreciate input from an old empeg/rio user to let me know how much use does the cd player actually get? and also regarding the rio radio module.. do they still sell them? 'cause its not listed on their site...
