if i get this, its going to be cool to have ALL of my mp3s in a car =)
its called a riocar. its been discontinued, but they're still selling it on ebay. here's the link i'm gonna bid on.

most of my research is from http://riocar.org and reading the support forums at http://empegbbs.com
what do you guys think? its better than a stupid cd-based unit, and about the same price (for a quality one at least). before, i was looking into getting a kenwood z828, but they're 500$ and doesn't even support id3v2 tags. only id3v1 tags that are limited to 32 chars. what do you guys think? any of you have one? |

I tried the link but it didn't work.
Anyway, bout having mp3 in your car - go for it.
I have a kenwood kdc-8017 and even though it's pretty primitive, the sound quality is mint and i can't live without it anymore. don't switch to radio at all cept for some traffic reports here and there.
Only problem with it imo is that seeking is e and i listen mainly to mixes/livesets.
What is the capacity of that rio car? |

| If anything ever happens to the unit don't expect any kind of support from Rio. I have a Rio 500 and I always got service from them about it...and they charge you as soon as you call. |

That is why I recommend the JVC.
Kenwoods always seem to break down after 14 months (bye bye money)
JVC headunits are very well build, and their service is outstanding! |

Get the mp3 player, it might be more expensive but its worth it.
Why do car stereos come with remotes? ffs the head unit is not that far away. |

I've been saving up for an Alpine CDA-7995 which retails for about US $ 350+ on Ebay.
Check it out, I love Alpine Decks. Not to mention Pioneer too. |
