So, the SGT has no radio in it. And I am wondering, when I get around to putting one in it, do I want 1 cd, or 6? In case you are wondering, I am a little bit nutty about keeping GM radios in my trucks...

Re: How many discs?

How much do you really care about the music? And how long is your daily commute or are you in the truck?

I'm not in mine long enough to find a radio station. And nothing sounds better to me than the spooling sound of boost.

I say if anything...1.

Re: How many discs?

When I drive it tends to be for a while at a time.
I have one truck with a 10 disc changer and one truck with 1 disc. I can't really decide which I like better. I do like the reliability of the single disc though

I've got a 6 disc changer in my GT....have had it for bout 2.5 years now...still works perfect...I love it because I have no deck in my truck..just the stock radio so if thiefs look in..theres no nice 300 dollar deck for them to jack.

I have a 6 in dash in my LGT. I have a hard time keeping track of what I have where. Sometimes I don't mind to put a disc in each time. What I do hate though is keeping a cd book or a bunch of CD's lying around.

Ditto, I've had two factory radios crap out on me in the Sy in the past couple of years.

I say just go for a 1 disc cd player.

Re: How many discs?

Got a single disc in one truck, and a 6 disc in the other.

The single disc is an Alpine that reads MP3's. Trips from Louisville to Atlanta are a one CD, never hear the same song twice event. Didn't think I'd like it, but it's easily head and shoulders above the 6disc in the '04. The 6disc is nice, but the music doesn't last nearly as long without fiddling with CD's

The 10 disc in my Ty is MP3 capable but I haven't burned anything for it yet. I'm tempted to put in a hookup for the MP3 player, but at the same time I don't really like having it sitting in the truck all the time.

I burnt one as soon as I got the new Head Unit about a year ago. Haven't looked back....I can't imagine 10 discs of MP3's (although I ahve that many MP3's). That would be a MAJOR task to keep track of.

Just burn a cd as a data one. You can put over a 100 songs on it then.

Re: How many discs?

HOW ABOUT AN MP3 PLAYER WITH A FM MODULATOR? DONT EVEN NEED A CD PALYER, JUST AND FM TUNER, OR A SIRIUS RECIEVER WITH THE FM THING. lEAVE THE STOCKER IN HAVE ALL YOUR TUNES TOO, AND THEY ARE REMOVABLE.

Re: How many discs?

All I know is I feel like I have to lean across the truck to reach the stereo controls.


Looks like it's time for a cd with remote.
 
Re: How many discs?

<-----Voted aftermarket....
use ONE disc and make sure it plays Mp3's
You can easily fit 6 discs of music on one Mp3 disc.
Now, if you pick and choose the songs you like from a
collection of discs, I bet you can get most of what you
listen to on one disc. They hold from 125-200 songs each!
