I am looking to get a new car stereo, 'cos my lil' putt-putt is an older model and I'd like to upgrade the sound system. While there is something to be said for the tape deck, I prefer not to have my disc changer in my trunk, and would like to be able to plug my iPod directly into the system without having to fiddle with the FM-transmitter.

The problem at hand is that I have NO IDEA where to look for things like this and get, y'know, knowledgeable service.

So I solict y'all for your thoughts on a decent head unit and its attendant benefits. In my ideal world (HAHAHAHA!), I'd like to have an MP3 jack, iTunes tagging, and a tape deck (this is where the laughter comes into play). I can live without a CD changer, but options are, of course, always nice to have.

Spill yer guts!
