...Found a Blaupunkt model MP3000 at Costco for about $150 new. 47WX4.
good sound, MP3 works great. Same size as regular car stereo. Can be
purchased on-line at Blaupunkt's site I think.

Subject: CD/MP3 Player suggestions

I want to put an in-dash CD/MP3 player in my 85 Westy "Bullit" (....not
a wimpy name, eh?). I have heard there are size restrictions on the
units....some won't fit because they are too big. Any suggestions on
what units would work best in this situation and are they difficult to
install? I went over to the stereo shop and the "kid" there said "man,
that car is almost older than me." He had no suggestions without tearing
it apart and looking for himself. Well, I wasn't sure if he could put it
back together so I decided to do it myself. I haven't started yet in
hopes somebody out there has faced this problem and can give me a
suggestion or two. I like bells and whistles on my stuff but if a basic
unit would work best....I guess I will settle for that (maybe there
isn't a MP3 basic unit). Where is a good mail order or internet shop
that I might be able to get the player at a discount?.....maybe just
wishful thinking.

Thanks, Gary
