:iagree: Same here. It won't be too long before the "why is there a cassette player?" becomes "why is there a CD player?" ;)

no biggie for me especially since im hearing the new changer is mp3 compatable and also goin for an icelink so no need for in dash just my opinion....

After the CD player what's next??? Ice link? If one is going to confine himself to nothing but MP3's then I guess thats ok. I suppose that assumes that generally speaking people cannot hear the difference between MP3's and 24bit CD. One could argue that before you lock yourself out completely listen to the other options before making a choice.

Icelink does not confine you to MP3s.. in fact my icelink has never played an MP3. At home I only listen to uncompressed music. In an automotive environment I find it impossible telling the difference between high bit rate AAC (196 +) and CDs. If compression is still a problem for someone can always use a lossless codec such as apple lossless, etc

Maybe we'll see a built-in iPod-style into the system, where it has a wifi so you can upload/download your music into your car.

Then...who knows Internet, software upgrades for Nav/Ecu/etc, downloaded automatically when they get released....

I think you should hold out for the 8-Track...

I believe a member here had pulled his car interior apart when he retrofitted the nav and according to him there is enough room to accommodate a disc drive.

Isn't that stupid...... You should be thankful that your not getting an 8-track or a reel to reel deck...........
