1.5 DIN CD/MP3 player

[GTSteve]

I've searched everywhere for a CD/MP3 player that is made to fit the larger (1.5 DIN) opening in my PT. I'm pretty sure that nobody is making one yet. Has anyone seen one and if so, where can I get one?

Steve,

If you are asking about an in dash unit that plays MP3CDs as well standard CDs. The unit that I have plays MP3CDs as well as Std.CDs, and CDRWs. Its a Kenwood KDC-MP922. (purchased @ Crutchfield.com)

GTSteve,

There is no one piece 1.5 DIN unit that is compatible with the "new" 1.5 DIN Chrysler size (Oval corners instead of square corners). Pioneer and a few other manufacturers made/still make 1.5 DIN units that fit older Chrysler and GM vehicles.

There are a few units which claim 1.3 to 1.5 DIN display sizes after the unit opens or slides. Gearhead's Kenwood unit is an example, as is the Alpine CDA-7897. I really enjoy my CDA-7897 (time delay, custom EQ--pick the bands, Q, and boost/cut level, dimmable display with headlights, etc).

If whatever unit you choose is a DIN unit, try the Metra dash kit that includes a pocket beneath the headunit. The kit allows the headunit to be mounted Iso-DIN style (mounted from the sides, just like Japanese cars). This doesn't give a thief a good grip on the unit since it is recessed into the dash kit.

I will try to post pics later...
