[DeTomaso] CD Players- What works in a Pantera?

[Julian Kift]

Why not do the time warp and be way 'cooler' hanging with us in the 21st century!


Seriously I'd pick up a cheap iPod, it can hold all of you CD collection and with wifi at most hotels and venues has pretty much the same functionality as an iPhone without the contract. You can even take it jogging with you....

Greetings!   Need some help with radio selection......

Our 74 recently came to us without a radio of any sort.  Just a big ugly football shaped hole....for a two post radio.  In my collection of parts, I have "spare" Pioneer single CD capable models (removable face plate) that proclaim in the instructions not to mount them above about a 45 degree angle!
I have not yet tested this...need to find old Celine Dion CD first.....
I know that there are Bluetooth devices, plug-in storage devices, wireless radio, etc that "can make my life easier"  (tell that to IOS 11 updaters!!!).......but I'm not all that yet.  I pay enuf for phones, internet, TV....that I really don't need or desire another multiple hundreds of dollars investment just to get tunes.  I can buy new AC hoses.....with that money!!!!   Then I can be "cool" and listen to "my music"....
SO, I throw out to you two questions....."what CD player works in your Pantera while mounted sideways and at a 30-45 degree angle upwards????   (I will be looking to modify my dash opening to accept a standard DIN unit.)   I'm not really interested in a multiple CD player remotely mounted either....... BTDT.

AND, if you have a Pioneer, does it work for CD's and if so, what model?

So far I have heard of one Kenwood model that the owner reports works just fine.
What say you??
Thanks in advance!
Steve
