It depends on what you want to get and what you're willing to do to modify your car. There are several good headunits with mp3 capability, most of them reading a data CD-R or CD-RW that is full of mp3 files. I've got a unit by Kenwood that does that, which works real well. Rockford Fosgate has a Compact Flash memory MP3 changer, but their changer is a separate unit that hooks into a Rockford Fosgate head unit. I believe <a href="http://www.crutchfield.com">Crutchfield</a> carries the Rockford unit, 2 Kenwood units, 1 by Sony and 1 by Aiwa with mp3 capability. I've heard bad things about the Aiwa one, though.

The other options aren't ideal, but would work great if you want to avoid removing the Bose headunit. Either get a portable mp3 player (Diamond Rio, Creative Nomad, etc) and connect it via a tape adapter, or find an FM radio encoder that hooks into a portable unit in the same way. Not the best quality, true, but neither are mp3s. Plus this could finally give all you guys a use for those tape players

(and before you ask for pics of my kenwood unit installed, I'm not getting a CL for another month)
