I drive an N reg 1.1 punto (yeah... you can stop sniggering now 
) anyway it has a basic radio cassette stereo in it, most of the time when I'm in the car I connnect my cheapo 512 meg MP3 player by a cassette adapter which works, however its not that good quality and quite fiddly, messing around with a mp3 player and batteries, now I have seen a nice headunit for £140 that plays cds and mp3 cds and you can connect an Ipod to (I intended to purchase an Ipod sometime, but not immediatly) would I be ok putting such a thing in my car with it lacking an alarm, I'm asking because someone else posted about ICE for a 90's car and someone mentioned security, do all head units these days come with removeable fronts, does that make them secure enough?
The car is parked on my driveway in a relativly quiet area or in the car park at my place of work on an indut. est. or (and this worries me most) when I start college in sept. it'll be spending weekdays in the rail station car park in the city centre (buses wouldn't get me their early enough to catch the right train)
Reckon I'd be safe?, or would it likely go walkabout in a car without an alarm?
(Oh, and when I do eventually upgrade my car, I'd be taking it out again
, so I don't see it as pointless because of the car's age, etc)

Lost faith an all that. If you can stealth it, or at the very least when the facia is removed it will be hard to tell what radio is actually in the car, you should be OK.
what about all this security code stuff, does that stop people nicking them?
