Ok, contemplating (beginning stages) getting a new CD player for the little Focus. I currently have the 6006, non-Audiophile, non-Blaupunkt one. And surprisingly, it has never eaten one (or more) of my CDs! I think I'm living on borrowed time due to some of the stories I've seen with this unit.
Anyway, I was looking on Crutchfield, and I clicked Satellite ready to narrow my search. But then I got to wondering, becuase one HU showed it came with a tuner + antenna, another just came with the tuner (small black box looking thing?)... Well I already have a Roady receiver which was installed by Best Buy (so I don't know the wiring details myself). This makes me wonder A) would I need a tuner or just the XM HU would be ok? B) if I wanted to keep using the Roady, I don't need a sat-ready HU at all right? I'm assuming any new HU would have a connection like to whatever the 6006 is using to interface with the Roady's wiring?
So basically, do I need a tuner if I've already got XM? My sound criteria otherwise, is approaching nil, I'm not an avid ICE person. I have no plans for subs/amps and IF I ever swap out my stock speakers it won't be anything fancy. So my needs are simple, I want to keep my satellite radio, I'm addicted. Also if possible, I would like a HU that lights up totally or mostly Blue. Also, (do they even make these) another 6-disc up front set-up would be nice. I don't wanna buy a changer and I really only own about 6 CDs so I keep them all loaded at once. [
] Am I asking too much?!
After a quick look-see, I'm eyeballing this puppy... mainly because I'm a sucker for a special. Any good (I'd have to keep my Roady I guess)? 4096 colors, how is that even possible!?
