Most decent CD players have a detachable faceplate. I would not recommend buying one that does not have this (I'm usually the lowest models offered by all companies). The last important element to consider is whether the unit fits into the dashboard.

Look for a control layout that you are comfortable with. In general, a simple layout is best to quickly find the buttons. A crowded and busy display looks great in the showroom, but it can be confusing and dangerous when driving at highway speeds. Beyond these basics, you need only worry about what features you want to have on your CD player.

Since the head unit is the most visible part of the system, the majority of manufacturers of CD players have designed several ways for you to express themselves in the dashboard. Many receivers include or motorized card reader and completely removable drop-down front panels. They also come with wireless remotes, front and rear RCA outputs and a subwoofer output, dedicated as well.
