Someone posted this on B5 forum. I figured someone here might need a new radio like me.

I beg to differ. The only way in which it's better is that it has an in-dash CD-changer. In all

Thats good to know. Doesn't seem worth the headache to rewire if thats the case.

I don't listen to CD's that much anymore anyway.
