Alright, here's the deal. I've got a 6 year old JVC CD deck in my car. I just got an iPod for Christmas and want to be able to use it in the car without having to use an FM Transmitter.
Figuring I was going to blow at least $30 on an iTrip or some other transmitter that would've been terrible considering the large amounts of traveling I do through big cities in my car, I want to just use the money plus some extra to get a new deck in the car that can hook the iPod into it easily and I'm looking for suggestions.
At this point I see that I want one with either a tape deck or some sort of audio input jacks on the deck. Either is fine, though I think retaining a CD player in the car would be a good idea (so I *might* want a CD/Tape deck). It's a 93 Ford Escort with stock speakers, so we don't need anything with a lot of power. I just want something to play the iPod for the few years that the car still runs.
Any suggestions on models or places to find a deck cheap? I'm not the most savy person when it comes to cars, but I can probably install it myself (with perhaps help from a friend here), so online places are fine. Just looking for some ideas (or if you can think of a way to fix my current predicament without getting a new stereo, let me know!)
Thanks!
