So, it's not 1994 anymore. CDs are obsolete, kaput, like the Dodo. I still have some somewhere but I assure you I don't miss them.
Is there a head unit that does not play CDs (and thus is hopefully a little more shallow), is well built, has a decent amp in it, has a user interface that isn't retarded, has front USB/Aux in, and isn't lit up like a goddamn Christmas Tree?
And no, not looking to mod a factory radio. I just want something that will drop in and work, that I can just order from Amazon/Walmart/Best Buy, without me having to mess with it too much beyond sorting out the wiring.
