I am on the Crutchfield mailing list but I have only bought one thing from them – auto harness cables for my wife’s Toyota Sienna.

As a geek consumer I really like their catalog because it has details and tips that are from people who know what they are doing. It would be cool if a future edition had a "How to listen to podcasts …" page or "How to get wi-fi running in your car … " 😉

Some things that caught my eye but aren’t in the budget:

• Kenwood Excelon (KDC-X679) [Sirus, XM Radio, CD/MP3/WMA, line-in]
• Creative Labs Zen 5-GB Silver [MP3/WMA/WAV, FM Radio,  voice recorder, but no audio in for recording from a microphone]
• Bose QuietComfort 2 Headphones [mine were missing from my bag post family cruise :-(]
