Who makes a good 1.5 DIN AM/FM/CD/cassette head unit?

I'm looking to get a head unit with cd and cassette for my Camaro. Anyone know of any good ones out there? Price isn't that big a deal, I'm hoping to get it from a private shop so maybe I can swap my CD changer and old amps for it.

1.5 din headunits just arent that popular anymore so that they are limited to avalibility. ///\LPINE and PIONEER are two brands on 1.5 din headunits, BUT they don't have the cassette player with them.

If your worried about cassettes, then try to get a DIN sized cassette deck with CD Changer controls on it so you can have the best of both worlds.

I think alpine is discontinuing their 1.5 din, or i might be wrong. But the last time i check one they had was like 500 bucks.

Ok I should clarify. It doesn't have to be 1.5 DIN, just fit in the car. I currently have a cassette head unit and changer, but with 2 cars moving the cd's back and forth will be easier if I don't have to unload the changer.

I have a Panasonic DF 200 U, requires a $30 kit to fit but it looks and sounds great. It's 45wx4 channel w/ mosfet and cd changer control. silver face w/ blue displays
