First:
I am not interested in an aftermarket CD player. Not now, not ever. That is not an option for me. I hate the way they look and I am running a stock sound system.
Now that I got that out of the way, I would like to discuss stock Chrysler CD players. My 1998 Jeep originally came with a cassette player. I would like to replace it with a CD player. In looking at stock offerings from Chrysler for the Jeeps, I found that this one was an option for Wrangler from 2000 - 2002:
Then I found another that is very similar to the one above that was an option for the 1992 - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee, except it has a 5-band equalizer as apposed to the model with the 3-band equalizer shown above:
I do not not know much about sound systems, so am I correct to assume that the model with the 5-band equalizer is the better unit between the two? Both of these units were built by Alpine for Chrysler, but the one with with the 5-band equalizer is also called an "Infinity." Does that mean something else? They both look the same otherwise and they both have the same connectors on the back, so either should plug right into my Jeep.
Thoughts?
