Weird that you mention that. Thats how I broke down and ordered my empeg unit. Way back in like march my Aiwa CDC-MP3 player got stolen (stupid me not having comprehisve to cover it) so my loss. Couple friends offered me there cd-players but I turned them down, not only paranoid and said whats the sense it'll just get stolen again, put also they didn't play mp3's. Gotta have standards I supose. Yes it cost a lot more then the $300 mp3 player I was looking at getting but I've always wanted one since they first start back in 98 when I saw it. So I talked my wife into letting me get it. And yes it'll be taken out everytime I get outta the car, debating about even doing it when I go into a store, that's how paranoid I am right now about it, also calling insurence company and adding theft insur. before it get's installed =)

Just my 2 cents.
