Head unit/cd changer good idea or not?

[FlyingFish]

Hi

I've just got my new vehicle this weekend but the factory fitted cd player head unit is a bit lame so I'm wanting to change. My last car had a cd changer in the boot that was factory fitted and worked great with the steering wheel buttons. But my new vehicle has none of that.

I was thinking of changing the head unit for this package:

But then I got to thinking, I could just buy the head unit only and fill a couple of CD's with mp3's of my albums and save myself the hassle and cost of fitting the cd changer.

Waddya think? Good idea or not?

Does anyone know if I did go down this route, would my albums woud be easy to navigate thru and play. Or not! I dont know how good modern stereo's are at that kind of stuff.

Cheers

Oh BTW I'm not into all this bass booming stuff or ultimate audio quality, just normal decent performance is all I'm after.

This one dont look too bad either, and seems to boast about some sort of easy search function:

Oh and I'm going with a green theme due to the dash illumination

I had a cd changer, just sold it on the bay and bought an alpine 9855 , with ipod adaptor, 20gb of mp3's should last for the drive to spain this year.

If your spending over £200 then have you thought about a DVD player head unit? Then you have 4.7gb on each DVD.

Just get an MP3 player HU or an IPOD if a few CD's wont meet your needs

£200 gets a good CD mp3 HU

for not much more (as you said) you can get this lovely HU
