I cuurently have a 10-disk CD changer that plays through my existing stereo
( RF ?) mounted in the deck. I ran the control apparatus through the slight
space between the stereo at the dashboard opening. It works well most of the
time, but some MP3s crash the changer, and I have to go into the trunk and
reset it. That's getting to be a hassle. Also, I'm assuming it's certain
MP3s, depending on how they were encoded, because by re-encoding them, seems
to correct the problem, and that's only if I could identify which ones are
crashing the unit. That's also too big of a project , and I guess it could
also be the unit. Although it's convient to have thousands on songs
available, it's a bit of overkill, and I wouldn't mind dealing with the
1-disk player in the dash if I could find one that would fit.
