I need a good aftermarket cd/mp3/radio for my 05′ beetle convertible?

K8tbug asked:


I love my car, just hate the stock cd player in it. There is a cd stuck in there now, and the buttons are hard to push. Anyways i have been looking for an aftermarket cd player for my bug but all of them look like they would look really weird in a bug, i have searched online for pics of what they look like but cant find any. Any suggestions, any pics of your car or one that you have found? I just want a quality one nothing too fancy, cd, mp3 and i want to be able to plug my ipod directly into the front of it. Thanks for any help and pics!!

    The kit to hold your radio is SUPER simple. Run around to some of the audio shops and play with the radios. Even Wal-Mart has them so you can finger them. You pick what you want. Head unit is all prefrence. Whether it fells, looks or is easy to use is up to the owner.

    Heres your kit and instructions. This is a slam install.

    i agree with robert except the “slam” install these cars suck to work on they very little depth for a radio but it will work with some fight.

    alpine 9881 is cd/mp3/ipod and has 3v pre outs and is only like $150 on ebay.for quality i say alpine all the way. but i agree with every1, go around and play with different ones till u find what you are looking for. my g/f had a Kenwood ( i hated it bc it wasnt clear or loud as an alpine) but she liked it cuz it had a rainbow display and scrolled through all the colors and beat with the music. i do admit it did look cool but alpine is so clear and she was amazed at how much louder her car was and clearer too just by puttin in the alpine as the kenwood finnallyyyyyyyyyyyy quit working.
