There's an Alpine HU that has been recommended quite a few times here as an alternative to the CD-R problem with the stock stereo, since you can keep the steering wheel controls... (I have a '99 TL)... Is the one you guys have been recommending an in-dash 6 CD player, or just a single CD? I'd love an in-dash 6 (as opposed to trunk mounted).. Also, would I lose the cassette player if I changed to this other unit? The sound would still be the same, right - since the speakers are the same...?

One thing I've always wondered and *hated* ---- why are the buttons always soooo tiny on aftermarket units??!! ...Makes it so hard to hit the right button when you've got gloves on in the winter and makes you take your eyes off the road if you need to hit a key!!!

do you want one with a monitor (flip out screen) or not?
im not sure about the alpine but kenwood makes some great HU's.
also, are you going to look into xm, or sirius? that mkes a difference too. i prefer sirius
