Phoenix FRC, if you're really certain your FRC's radio is NOT Bose, then you might consider replacing it with the Delco CD unit from a 2000 (plus or minus 3 years) Chevy S10 pickup or Blazer (without Bose). You should be able to find one on eBay (from one of the "reputable" dealers, eg.: bowtiestereoman) for less than $150. And, they look just like the factory CD radios (mostly because they are).
Should be a plug-in replacement. Just make sure your current system is NOT Bose first.

This is simple and easy right here.
If its cheap, I'm good.
I just spent a bit of money on perf mods but now its time to sink a little into creature comforts like tunes.
I'll talk with the guys at AZ-Power & Sound because they said its cheap and easy too and I think they where talking about MP3 stuff too.
I'll also look up the Stock GM stuff, I have access to stock 1998~2003 Pontiac Grand Prix CD/Head units that are the same physical size and I have been wondering how and what fitment problems there might be if any.
Thanks,

The Vette is the last car that I am converting to read the player - Its a vert, and I try to leave the top down all the time. I really only us ethe CD around town as it gets a bit noisy at highway speed for music.
