For quite some time we have wanted to get a new deck in my car. We still had the factory one in there because we had a huge hard drive that played mp3s through it. Well, it hasn't been working well for a while, but I didn't care (mind you, now that I hear the new one…WAY BETTER), but it really annoyed Chuck. So we had some money coming to us from Ultimate Electronics because we didn't use the warranty in 5 years or something. So we decided to get one….Finally. Part of the reason we have been wanting to do this more recently is because we take my car to work everyday. (And yes, this means we are keeping my car and putting car shopping on hold until it's actually necessary!)
Now, Chuck has been trying to convince me for quite some time that we needed one, but I didn't see the point. Then I saw this fancy one! I was sold!
The big knob in the middle turns for volume and searching. It has an LCD screen and you plug your iPod (or iPhone) up to it and it searches through your songs…on the radio. You don't have to control it through your iPod like most of them do. It also shows album art…or what the album cover of the cd it is from….this is something that needs to be on your iPod first…it doesn't do this on its own.
It's very pretty, too! It doesn't have a CD player, but we have all our songs in mp3 form anyway and haven't had a cd player in that car for a very long time. So it was a great decision. I just love it. And, the normal colors on it are blue. But you can change them to red….but the display looks a lot like pink to me! So I am even more excited about it! I just wanted to share my love of my new toy! Now I have to put more songs on my phone to listen to in the car!
