well as u may or may not know my radio was stolen, check the General forum, but i'm kinda a noob when it comes 2 radios and that stuff. i was wondering if anyone could recomend a good radio, i am kinda partial 2 pioneer, but i just want something with AUX input 2 hook up my mp3 player maybe around the $200-$300 range. thanks guys!

if i had a choice... i would have to pic Pioneer over Sony.
I have never had any luck with the X-plod stereos... They seem good at first but the eliability has always sucked.
Things may have changed over the years, but when i got my first Xplod in 2000 I had to replace it because the detatchable face motor broke. I got another Sony for my other car and it started giving me disc read errors after about 7 months of use.

Before anyone says that it was a dirty disc or anything like that.... These were new Cd's and they all worked fine when i tossed the cheap sony and got my Pioneer.

But like I said.... their quality may have improved over the past 6-7 years and that Atrac3 looks pretty cool.

But I am on my second pioneer, a DEH-M9400MP, and have put this in 3 different cars, and have no complaints. Maybe becasue this is a high end head unit (originally almost $900 retail, but I got a good deal on ebay), maybe not.
