In spite of all the criticsm of the factory HU, I found it to be a fine unit with decent sound quality. For $50, it's a nice upgrade over the cassette.
The BIGGEST complaint I had with the factory Premium CD was that they varied in their ability to play CD/r discs. The first one I had didn't play 'em very well, the one they put in under warranty (made in Mexico in 1996) played them great.
It would be interesting to see what one measured on a test bench for rms and distortion.
