Do you want to modify the dash? You can sut the dash to fit a standard din radio...it is easy to do so. If you do not want to do that you can check into a 2 **** radio that controls a CD changer or a FM modulated changer. Or put a CD radio in another location besides the dash. I have done a couple with the cd radio behind the factory counsel facing into the footwell. Harder to use but retains factory apperance and no permanent modification.

You don't have to cut anything. Go to CustomAutoSound and look at the products. The have a great unit that fits right in your orig. opening. You can put a CD player in the glove box, (cut out the back for changer size), make your own jack cover to mount two 6x9's, make an aluminum plate to mount a pair of 4" in place of the old dash speaker. If you want, add an amp on the back wall for the two 6x9's and drive the dash speaker with the head unit. Tunes all day long!
