Blaupunkt Heidelberg CD50 Car CD Player

Pros: Affordable, easy to use
Cons: Display very limited & sometimes difficult to see, two equalizers unnecessary, sound quality 5/10

I have a Chevy Tahoe with OnStar, and I didn't want to lose my Onstar capabilities with an after-market head unit, but I wanted to design a sound system for my vehicle. A sales rep at my local car audio place suggested I go with this Blaupunkt because it...

Set the startup volume at any decibel - (low is better) and you'll never get blasted out of your car when you get back into it - doesn't matter how loud the volume is when you got out of your car.
