Nakamichi CD-45
Has anyone put a Nakamichi CD-45 in their truck? I've found a good price for one but am curious about how well one would work in my truck. Most people commenting about them have BMWs or similar cars $$$$$.
Thanx in advance

I had a Nakamichi CD-45z installed in my 2000 F-150. It's the same DIN-size as most other head units, so you can use any standard mounting kit for your model F-150. I had a custom install done using a modified mounting kit and a faceplate, giving it a clean, centered, flush look. By the way, I haven't heard the CD-45, but I sure like the CD-45z. Also, the green backlighting matches the dash lights really well.

Stilts,
Thanks for the reply, I meant the CD 45z. I was concerned since some people online had mentioned problems with CD's skipping or not playing with a CD 45z. I was worried that the ride of the F 150 would make this a problem. So I will plan to get the Nakamichi as soon as I find a new job.

Neither my original head unit or my Clarion HU has ever skipped in 13k miles. That's a 4x4 too 
I wouldn't worry about it skipping unless it's a problem inherant with the player.
