[QUOTE="fmueller, post: 6225110, member: 612969"] I think what we are looking for is a HU that looks like a car stereo, not like a TV set, but can play burned DVDs containing MP3s. That is not common, but it appears ngsm13 points us in the right direction with JVC's giga mp3 feature, which they offer even in some base models: [URL="http://www.woofersetc.com/p3776/KDDV4200--JVC-Indash-DVD-CD-MP3-Player.htm"]http://www.woofersetc.com/p3776/KDDV4200--JVC-Indash-DVD-CD-MP3-Player.htm[/URL] IMHO that unit is not all that bad looking and you can't complain about $149! As an aside, I just ordered myself a HU that has a front USB input. This will allow me to play MP3s straight from a USB stick, without the need to burn them on CD or DVD. I haven't received the unit yet, so I can't speak about how that will work out for me. I think it's a more common feature than what you are looking for, but the unit I ordered is [URL="http://www.woofersetc.com/p7927/CQC5355N--Panasonic-CD-MP3-Receiver-with-USB-and-Aux-Input-Plus-Variable-Color-Display.htm"]this one[/URL].
