frankc Posted July 7, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 7, 2009 I've had a Clarion CD player in the box for almost a year. I've heard good thinks and bad things about having a CD player in the trunk or side bag. It looks like a pain in the butt to install and i'm wondering if I should just do the I-pod thing throught the tape deck and be done with it. Does anyone use a CD player and if so is it worth the labor to install it? I want to avoid tearing half the bike apart only to have this thing skip all the time. I'd rather sell it while its still in the box and wrapped up nice. Thanks for your thoughts Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkrieg Posted July 7, 2009 Share #2 Posted July 7, 2009 Personally I would go with the IPOD. Guarantee of no skipping that way. Plus it will hold alot more music than a CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariner Fan Posted July 7, 2009 Share #3 Posted July 7, 2009 I can't answer how the CD player works but I can tell you that an MP3 or Ipod player is much easier to use and has much more capability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, Plus, the CD player takes up needed storage space in the trunk or saddlebag. First mod I made when I got MyPalomino home was removing the CD player. I use my Sony Vaio MP3 (40GB) which holds more music than you can listen to on a trip around the world. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted July 7, 2009 Share #6 Posted July 7, 2009 They DO take up a chunk of space, and you can get tons more music with a good MP3 or satellite radio and use lots less space. I'm half tempted to remove my CD player, I had no choice, it came with the bike... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flb_78 Posted July 7, 2009 Share #7 Posted July 7, 2009 I took my CD player out, it skips way too much for me. I just listen to the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugfish69 Posted July 7, 2009 Share #8 Posted July 7, 2009 Skipped too much for me as well and took up space in trunk. I uninstalled mine and went with sattelite radio. Now I have both satellite radio and MP3 palyer on my Zumo. I have my CD changer free to a good home if anyone wants one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiCarl Posted July 7, 2009 Share #9 Posted July 7, 2009 CDs will soon be as obsolete as that cassette deck. Sell it before it's worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvester Posted July 7, 2009 Share #10 Posted July 7, 2009 CDs will soon be as obsolete as that cassette deck. Sell it before it's worthless. It is worthless now! They are on sale everywhere. Yamaha saw the writing on the wall and to get rid of inventory they installed it on all 09 Ventures and added $750 to the price of the bike. Win-win, they get rid of inventory and you pay retail for the accessory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
