Default MP3 players for F-bods

Is there an aftermarket MP3 car stereo that fits well into the dash of an F-bod? I really like the idea of having 1000 songs on a disc and never having to change it.

yea I have the kenwood mpv619 its really sweet! I had a huge huge book of like 250 cd's before and it was just heavy and clunky and a pain to pull out of the back seat and try to find the CD I wanted while i was driving. So now I have a smaller cd wallet with 7-8 cd's with all my albums! I reccomend it!

The new fold-out 1.3 din Alpine unit is probably the 'best fit for the opening' MP3 player..and i'm also partial to my Pioneer 8400 fold-down mp3 unit.

Hey McTullis, I been thinking about getting that same mp3 deck for my tahoe, how is it on speed of reading mp3 disks?? The sony mp3 deck I have now takes FOREVER to read a disk. I want something with a faster load time. Thanks man!

Takes about ten seconds to initialize an .mp3 CD and then reads tracks like any cd player. Takes about 5 seconds to recognize a regular CD so it ain't no biggie. I'm definitely pleased with it.

also do i need to change speakers with that? i also have a 12 cd changer in the back would i have to sell that? or would it work with it?

the thing also says it has something to do with DVDs? can you get a screen for it too? need some more details...

i have the monsoon system and i could really adjust the bass and everything in an amazing way... how would that go with that player?
