Walt and others: I'm in the process of searching for an in-dash CD/minidisc player to have installed in my new 9-5 wagon. It will have to be a 2-layer (2 DIN?) unit so as to not leave a gaping a hole in the dash. So far I've found a couple of SONY units on the internet but I don't know if they're available here in the U.S. Walt, are the Kenwood and Blaupunkt units you mention available in the U.S.? Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. - Rob Malkin Walt Kienzle wrote in message <3a0c99b8$0$62625$1dc6d6e3nopsam.corecomm.net>... >Thank you.
