Cheapest Deck with aux input?
 

Hey, I'm looking for the cheapest possible deck that comes with auxilary inputs so I can run my ipod through it.

I found the Clarion DXZ445 on crutchfield.com for $129USD...can I go any lower?

Maybe someone has something used?

Thanks,


Walter.

check FS or BB. they have there "no name" ones there that have aux. also some of them have USB inputs.

sony, cdxgt100, 129 canadian dollars retail

what is the advantage of of usb input over 3.5mm (or whatever size it is) aux-input?

USB is more for items like flash drives. I haven't tried it but I'm assuming you could also use the transfer cable for the Ipod to connect it up as well.

The AUX wouldn't do anything with a flash drive, so that's a possible disadvantage. It could only take input from another audio device like an mp3 player/Ipod.

No loss in music sound quality. Through a 3.5mm jack or rca the music is played on a secondary device. Any sound loss or distortion from that device will be past on to the head unit. If you use a head unit with SD card slot or USB then it is direct digital processing of the file directly into the head unit and I found with mine that it sounds just as ggod as the cd player. I have been really impress with the USB and sd card head unit.
