I suggest you get an aftermarket system. I bought a nice Alpine CD unit that is Ipod ready for about $180. I love it.

Radio Question
Okay lets say I found the corvette for me except it has a cassette player instead of the in dash cd I want. How difficult is it to have it replaced with the bose cd stock stereo? and anyone have an idea how much?
thanks for the info.

Take the unit out and look at the back to count the harness plugs. I'm pretty sure GM used two different head units between 1997-2004. However, if I recall correctly, they look identical from the front. Maybe someone with more knowledge will chime in. BTW: I have a Bose CD unit and a 12 disc changer out of my '01 if your interested, shoot me a PM.

My 2000 had an AM-FM casette with the 12 disk changer in the trunk. I would never use a casette deck and I wanted the convienence of the single play CD in the dash as well as the changer. I bought a CD head unit from Ebay ($110) from a 2002. It was "plug & play" as they say. I sold the old casette for $65.00

What other kind of system could you put in that will still look like it was suppose to be there. I have seen some vettes with some nasty looking radios in the dash that look terrible I at least want it to look like it was there always.
thanks for the tips everyone.
