Pros: Great Price, Plays MP3s,
Cons: We need a revision 2.0 of this unit.

First the good:

1) It sounds great.
2) The price is right.
2) It's LOUD. I love loud music and I can't take more than 70%
while a "hot" (maxed out signal) mp3 is playing.
3) The colors and display are...

Pros: Plays MP3 with great quality, Bass, Great sounds...
Cons: Receiver Hard to attach, remote hard to install

Being a music enthusiast, I had dealth with many products currently on the market. From my perspective, I found the item outstanding. I received the item on December 1 and installed it instantly. My reviews are as follows.

The system came...

Pros: 175 songs on 1 CD!!!!!!!
Cons: Remote sucks

This is the best car audio product available right now. Being able to listen to over 175 songs (11+ hours) of music from one cd is where it is at. There are a few negatives with this unit but they are so minor I still give it 5 stars.

...

Pros: MP-3, Good FM reception
Cons: Remote IR range not real good, Not easy to review the station that is playing.

I bought the Aiwa CDC-MP3 from Crutchfield in October and I am very satisfied with it. I just completed a 1500 mile trip and it was great being able to drive for 5 hours listening to CD (MP-3) music without having to change the CD. I think this radio...

Pros: Good display, intuitive controls, it plays MP3s!!! 32 character filename readout. Auxiliary input. Makes any dashboard look cooler!
Cons: Audio CDs skip easy. Weak Bass.

I have had my CDC-MP3 player for around 2 months or so now and it has given me hours of enjoyment. I have no regrets about purchasing this car player. As with any device that has such an upside (playing MP3s) for such a cheap price there are going to be...

Pros: Plays mp3s
Cons: Doesn't play anything if it can't be powered on

I'd like to review this product in a thorough, covers-all-the-bases type of review. I'd like to tell you about all of its features and tell you whether or not I would recommend buying one. I'd like to tell you all this and more about the Aiwa CDC-MP3,...

Pros: Plays MP3s!!! Easy interface, neat coloring.
Cons: Skips! Skips! Skips! and no EQ features....

I love this thing. Don't get me wrong. The amps in it aren't bad, it has a somewhat useful remote, and it looks neat. However... (this is a big however) it skips! Not due to MP3s or bad CD burns. I mean just skips on regular audio CDs. Sometimes it skips...

Pros: Play mp3's in your car, removable faceplate, high-power output (with line outputs also)
Cons: Limited remote range, cheap faceplate case, weird faceplate attachment, needs way to go to tracks faster

I've had this unit in my car (self-installed) for about 2 months and for the most part I have been happy with it. I made a test CD-R with 153 mp3 files (one directory) in various bitrates and sizes on green media.

Information:

Pros: plays mp3's, great power output, nice remote
Cons: read review, but other than that its great

i just purchased ($255) and installed (myself) my aiwa cdc-mp3 last week and i love it. great display and power output (45x4) with h-bass selection for more bass. the wireless remote is also a nice touch and useful. my only complaints is that the display...

Pros: Great clean sound quality, powerful and functional
Cons: Non yet...

Finally you can now play MP3's in your car! Burn CD's from your computer and take a collection of your favorite albums or MP3 collection and your set for the whole week! That's about 10 full hours of listening pleasure on a single 650 MB disc. At $299,...

Pros: IT PLAYS MP3s!
Cons: Hard to find, useless remote.

No really, I mean it!

Aiwa has finally achieved the holy grail of consumer MP3 players: cheap and useful. Before the release of the CDC-MP3 unit, you might be able to get a useful unit, but it wouldn't be cheap. At $300, it is a quite...

Pros: Tons of songs. Aux-in
Cons: SKIPPING! cuts off long titles

It is very nice to be able to have hundreds on sounds on one disc. A nice looking player too.

But one major flaw is it skipping! I drive a truck and its not the smoothest ride and therefore skips on most bumps. It skips on moth MP3 CDs and normal ones.

It has something like a 32 character limit on MP3 titles, so it can cut off titles at times.
