Last spring my old tape deck was stolen.  I wanted to
buy a combo tape+CD player--Sanyo makes/made one, but
nothing was available in stock since a model change
was going on.

I ended up buying a Panasonic with a "drop down,"
detachable face plate.  "Drop down" means that you
have to drop the face plate down on its hinges to
put a CD in.  The advantage:  bigger screen since
there isn't a CD slot in the face taking up space.
I can't read the tiny screens (and buttons) without
my closeup glasses which I don't wear driving....
This screen is better--certainly better from bed!

Oh, yes, it has a remote, too.

I had it installed by a local (independent) installer
who did a great job; I'd go that path again.  Anyway,
he said that almost all models made now fit without
any problem.  What I got was size "I" I think.  Similar
to:

There is a place in (my personal) Hell for all those
Japanese gen-x-ers who design all this consumer stuff
with tiny letters and tiny buttons.  Even this
Panasonic is easier to operate when driving by
the remote--which has bigger buttons--and I can
hold it close to read them!
