Best In-Dash Car CD Player for Satellite Radio

(July 23, 2009)

If you want to add satellite radio reception to your car without having to install docked solutions that ruin the lines of your interior, there are plenty of solutions. While most in-dash CD/MP3 players offer some form of satellite radio compatibility through auxiliary inputs (requiring a dock), only the more expensive ones tend to offer truly integrated solutions. You still have to purchase a separate adapter to gain satellite radio service, but these can be hidden out of sight so you won't have to deal with unsightly wires and displays that hamper your visibility. Here are the best stereos that you can expand to include satellite radio reception without having to bother with secondary receivers.
