Why do people seem to prefer front Aux in?

Not a pain in the arse if the aux in is on the front!

Plugging and unplugging is a pain in the arse. I don't use radio anyway as the music is crap, oh and my aerial doesn't work

I have an old Pioneer I was gonna plug in (only does Radio and CD) but found out I need an adapter. Too much effort

The HU I had in it before I put it in storage was lent to my mate and it fell apart in his Defender

Looks like all my money is going on bodywork for now. headphones it is!

I've got a Nakamichi with a rear aux in (phono/rca pair), that'll be going in the cabby one day!!
Doesn't look out of place in the dash, amber illuminations & screen and awesome sound quality!!

Sony unit in the touring has a rear input as well - several in fact as it's an av unit!! Looks crap in the dash though!!

There's a few choices about!!

I also have one, a CD500 to be precise and it was in my E30 but i replaced it with the 22 year old Blaupunkt SQR88 and BQA80.

The Nak will be going in my E34 though.

The Nakamichi CD500 is probably the most OEM looking modern unit I've seen so far, wish it wasn't so expensive though

Becker make some OEM looking HU's.

OEM look isn't massively important, but at the same time I do want something smart and respectful. I will consider anything which will do this, along with a rear AUX, not too fussy eh

WIN! It's not Ideal but for just over £50 new, who can complain?!
