Aiwa CDC-Z117 Car CD Player

Of course as I say this, it would seem no one wants to install this model. So if your car dies with this stereo in it. It might be useful just to leave it. As for everything else the reviewers said about the model. It takes a darn good pot hole to get this player to skip.


5-23-2006- Was going to add, plays cd-r's (duh) and not so duh also plays CD-RW's. Not many did at the time. It also has an aux in. Which I've read most stereo's nowadays don't have. So except through some FM connector, there's no way to hook your IPOD into the current stereo's. So I guess you could say, until it dies.. it's future proof. There is one irritation and it's a small one. The does somehow gets inside the display area. Nothing too bad. But I would have thought that'd be sealed bettere.

The headache noawadays is that Sony killed the brand via the outlandish desktop stereo designs. Aiwa went from being better than Sony to being worse in design than Sony. So of course finding a harness to hook it up with a car.... is a witch to find. :(
