Thanks for the info.
The JVC looks good and the specs seem good to be what I'm after but is
it? (ok I know it's gotta be better than the Blaupunkt CD that's in
there at the moment)
As to the hard drive I like the idea of the hard drive based system
but I was trying to steer away from the CD changer style of player
(lots of pulling up carpet and trim) and just do a straight swap for
the factory fitted CD player for an MP3 one.
Thanks.
