Phill Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 New to the MD world and am now looking for a head unit that has the ability to control a CD Changer, and supports MDLP. I really have no idea the best brand or model to go with, so any help would be appreciated. Phill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipmec Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 They have a good assortment of car audio. That might be a good place to start gathering information. They list all the features and have good pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill Posted March 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Yeah, I looked at crutchfield, just not sure which is the best unit. Thanks Darkfusion, but what is the differance between that unit and the CA-680X? Phill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted March 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Can anyone tell me if the MDX-C150 supports LP formats? Phill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 The C150 does not support LP formats, as it came out in 1995. For detailed information about the Sony units you're asking about, please check out minidisc.org's equipment browser; I'll post the link that's most relevant to you. all sony MD car units: http://minidisc.org/part_Automobile_Sony.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted March 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Thanks for all the input, I decided to go with the CA-680X. Should get here in the next few days. Got tired of using my NetMD with an FM Transmitter. Thanks folks Phill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 That's a nice head-unit! If you don't mind me asking, how much did it run you? It's got a ton of features.. Be sure to write back with your impressions of the unit for future reference! :happy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted March 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 $173.00 plus s/h...REALLY looking forward to getting it. Phill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted March 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 It's here, it's installed, it is GREAT. Don't have the changer hooked up to it yet, but it is an awesome unit. Looks great in my dash, sounds great. Seek time is WAY less than my NetMD(go figure :grin: ) Thank you so much for your input folks. You really helped me find the perfect unit for my truck.

Phill Posted March 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Got mine off eBay! That was about the going rate for them...180-220. Still hitting buttons on mine! I love the fact I have a 50min comute to work in the mornings now! Phill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thee-O Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 My best friend had the MDX-CA680X installed in his second car...a Honda Civic. I love this head unit. Great sound. Cool Look. When I got my new car I wanted a new head unit. I had the Sony MDX-C5400X head unit for some time but I wanted something that had MDLP. I was debating about getting this head unit with a CD changer or a CD Head Unit with a MD Changer. I opted for the CDX-M850MP head unit with the MDX-66XLP changer. The only reason I didn't get the MDX-CA680X was because it only has 2 outs. I wanted a seperate subwoofer out. I am glad you are happy with your purchase. That is great price for a great headunit.
