You're going to have to get a 1.5 din stereo, as well as either all new non-Bose speakers and wiring, or an adapter to allow the head unit to work with your Bose set up.

I've bought my last three stereos from Crutchfield.com. They even include a mounting kit (face plate), wiring harness and any adapters needed to fit your car free of charge. There's alot of technical information on their website as well.

Unfortunately, they only ship to the United States. If you can make other arrangements it might be worth a look.

Crutchfield does have a nice selection, but they are probably the most expensive. Try a search on eBay... or even check out Circuit City since they're having a liquidation sale.
