Where to buy a CD/iPod player to replace radio cassette? 95 2.3

I want to just swap the units, use the four OEM speakers, use the antenna.

Crutchfield, they are a bit more expensive but it come with all the install gear you need besides your own tools and has instructions on how to do it plus fast free shipping. I have used them dozens of times and am always happy with what I get.

If your just looking for it to play your ipod and not do anything else fancy then I would say walmart. The link below has then for 45 dollars and up. maybe less. Easy way to go.

my personal favorite is sonicelectronix.com, it is the most fair priced place around and as reliable as crutchfield i highly recommend them, and most stuff is free shipping. and as far as radios go i would go anything pioneer, anything like dual jvc jensen all that lowend stuff is crap, in the audo world 9 times outtta 10 you get what you pay for.

I do recommend you get one that has a USB port, and if it comes with a cord that is better yet.

I used to pipe my Zune in through the AUX in headphone jack like port on the front, but lately have been really impressed with just using a thumb drive on the USB cord. Instead of managing playlists I just put the songs on there that I want and it plays them, and even says what it is playing on the headunit.

My Pioneer came with the cord, it has the jack in the back of the HU too so it keeps things looking cleaner.

Thanks, guys. I went with Crutchfield, got a Pioneer CD receiver with USB dock for the the iPod. Their computerized system was cool and thorough. It listed a Ford in-dash receiver kit that I would need, as well as the DIN tools, and an adapter to bypass the Ford amplifier, so I can have four channel gain controls and use the more powerful Pioneer amplifier. Their phone rep was a big help, too. Crutchfield is an organized operation. I was really impressed. Rock n Roll!

I was pleased with the pricing. free shipping (it will be here Friday), the receiver kit was free, the DIN tools are free, something else that i don't know what it is is free too, and it comes with complete instructions. Also, there are videos on the site to walk me through the install.

SonicElectronix.com is the bomb. Free shipping and free accessories is unbeatable! (Accessories that are necessary to mount your radio, that is)


I ordered my headunit from there (JVC KD-HDR60) on last Tuesday and it got to me on the day before Christmas.

Edit: I just now seen that you've already got squared away. Oh well, maybe someone else browsing the forums will read this and get help from it...

Anywhere that sells the Sony Xplod head unit, they are the best bang for the buck. As with any product tehre are good and bad stories, but I have had nothing but good luck with them, They are pretty powerful for stock speakers and now come with everything from USB to IPod ports to rca sub outs and dvd in's. You cant beat them for the price. The controls are very userfriendly too.
