In Dash or CD Changer

**benchph1** · October 27th, 2003 09:53 AM

Which is better in terms of longevity? I've heard in dash stereos tend to scratch cd's and become "choosy" with discs.
about cd changers, i find it awkward to be located in the trunk. its useful in long trips but inconvenient in city driving.

i have both.
kung 6 disc lang bitin lalo na sa long drives get the 12

in dash naman easy to use basta may CD pocket ka ayos na. yun nga lang scratch prone.

longevity get the changer.

in time, masisira din kasi ang in dash cd (the more moving parts, the more it is prone na masira). ang pwede mo gawin, ipa-install mo yung cd changer mo sa may foot rest na front passenger (sa ilalim ng dash sa dulo). mas madali palitan laman ng chager and less prone to skipping pag napadaan sa lubak.

or kung kukuha ka ng in dash na bago, mp3 ready HU na kunin mo para sulit.

my $0.02

hmmm....im gearing towards the cd changer, and have it installed in the passenger footwell just like ssaloon said. Another Q: meron bng mp3-ready na cd changer?

**ssaloon** · October 27th, 2003 12:01 PM

i asked sa intense, wala pa daw mp3 ready changer eh...

sa HU lang tlga nakasalalay.
