Good MP3 CD deck for the average listener

by dsmeyer , Mar 15 '02
Pros: Good price, Plays MP3s, Faceplate automatically hides, Powerful Sound
Cons: Too bright at night, Skips terribly, Controls could be more intuitive.
I drive a 1994 GM automobile that came with a Delco factory FM/AM cassette head unit. Listening to the radio was getting too boring. And I wasn't about to hook up a portable CD walkman up to my cassette deck just to be able to hear a limited selection...

Affordable Solutions For The Everyday Audiophile

by mstyles3k , May 23 '02
Pros: Attractive to the eye, ear, and pocketbook
Cons: Seek time on MP3 files can be discouraging
It's amazing how difficult it can be to find the right reciever for a car stereo. I mean, come on! The choices are seemingly limitless. There's FM, AM, XM, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3 CD, CDC, SO MANY FEATURES!!! It makes one want to assume the fetal...

Aiwa CDC-MP32

by mtglu , Jan 14 '02
Pros: Plays MP3s, Many features, Retracting front panel, looks good
Cons: Slow, Occasionally skips, Sometimes has trouble with scratched Cds
The CDC-MP32, Aiwa's second model of their car MP3 player is a great attempt at an emerging technology. Let's start at the beginning. Turning the car's key to the on position makes the little black faceplate automatically flip away in a process that...

A great unit for the price

by nintenduc , Dec 10 '02
Pros: Low price, folding face, easy to read display
Cons: Folding face can jam, MP3s restart when car shut off, skips, can't randomize across folders
For the budget-conscious consumer, the Aiwa CDC-MP32 is a great choice. The folding flap never fails to impress passengers (though its value as a theft deterrent probably isn't high). It does what you'd expect from a basic MP3 player: display ID3 tags,...

Decent unit for the money; some shortfalls

by zwerski , Mar 30 '04
Pros: Cheap, steering wheel remote, plays MP3 discs, hides itself when off.
Cons: Skips, skips, skips, skips...
This unit was installed in my 2001 Jeep Wrangler about a year ago, and I am pleased overall with the unit. The biggest headache with this model is the unending skipping that is compounded by my Jeep's super-stiff suspension and short wheel base which ...

Great value, glad I got it

by aguada99 , Sep 11 '02
Pros: Inexpensive, plays MP3/CD/CDR/CDRW, 50Wx4 and the disappearing face
Cons: Colors a little bright, may skip going over big pot holes
I first went looking for a new receiver for my old '90 Jetta, which I would be driving to school. Aiwas had my attention because of their aux port, which most other brands did not have. I wanted a receiver that played CDs, and could play MP3s and...

Skip skip skip skip

by cs577 , Jan 12 '03
Pros: Looks cool, great security feature, decent interface, good sound
Cons: Skips HORRIBLY, no pause button, mp3s start at beginning when restarting car
This mp3 player would be great if it didn't skip like it does. No matter a data cd of mp3s or an audio cd, the player will skip. The sad part is that one does not even have to be going over a bump to have the player skip--it will skip for no reason!...

Not highly recommended

by hyperzone , Nov 18 '02
Pros: Price, sounds good, looks cool
Cons: Skips horribly, not very durable, slow MP3 seek time
- I had never had an Aiwa head unit B4. I wuz initially impressed w/ the look and sound of it. The colors were pretty bright but after toying w/ the dimming of it I made it more comfortable to the eyes. I wuz really happy w/ having a car MP3 player...

I will never buy an Aiwa again

by danbr0wn , Aug 28 '02
Pros: Really cool retractable faceplate, wireless steering wheel remote
Cons: Cheaply made, breaks easily
I bought the Aiwa CDC-MP32 five months ago. For the first two months I was satisfied with its performance, until that really "cool" retractable faceplate FELL OFF, left dangling by only a flex cable. Luckily it was still under warrantee and I shipped it...

Affordable, but disappointing

by ervan , Nov 02 '02
Pros: MP3 player, Price, front-panel input jack
Cons: forgets location within song, fails on many MP3s,
The basic MP3 player works as expected, handling the directory structure, and displaying all of the MP3 tag data on the display. Audio quality is good.

However, I have experienced several problems with mine (based on files ripped by Music...

MP3 CD Player For The Bargain Shopper.

by roc26531 , Jun 15 '02
Pros: MP3,Black Panel Face Plate,Price,Steering Wheel Mounted Remote
Cons: Slow load time for MP3's
I recently purchased a used car and it did not include a CD player. Just about all of my friends bought Sony head units which are all great but I wanted something more original.

I was willing to spend up to $300 on a unit alone and I was...

Aiwa Skips Too Much

by wiper , Oct 21 '02
Pros: Nice steering wheel remote
Cons: Sensitive to skipping
I just replaced my first MP3 player, an Aiwa CDC-MP32, with the Sony CDX-MP30 and I am very satisfied. The Aiwa was very sensitive to rough road skipping, which I originally attributed to my Miata's short wheelbase, but with the Sony NONE of the old...

Save up and buy a better one.

by rjuliao , May 20 '03
Pros: Affordable, easy to install, decent cd sound and mp3 playback
Cons: LED too bright, remote is useless, high probability of faceplate motor damage
The radio itself plays decent, but the steering wheel remote has to be set up in a specific place to work, therefore it is useless or you may crash trying to change a station. I should have kept my $150 and saved more to buy a better radio, one that...

Great mp3 player for $200

by tkacle , May 11 '02
Pros: great sound, magic flap is great, excellent price, perty colors
Cons: Crappy remote, skips a bit on bumps or scratched cds
I've recently bought this unit from crutchfield, they have it for $199 and they also sent me an extension kit for my 93 Bonneville. If you're going to get this mp3 from a store, get it from them, because the support is great and you can always ship it...

Mostly good

by forbiggs , Oct 19 '02
Pros: Attractive, well-lit display. Plays mp3 cds and standard cds well. Random play mode.
Cons: "Random play" only works on the first 130 mp3s. Occasional skips.
I've owned my Aiwa cdc-mp32 since April 02. I bought it to play mp3s because I can fit 187 mp3 songs on a single cd. I really like the features and sound quality. My only annoyance is that it only plays the first 130 mp3s in the random play mode. The...
