Best buy has em, they have a little pocket underneath and the cd player installs above it. I prefer Pioneer cd players but the sonys are very nice as well. Just pick a good branded one.

How about not buying a bezel and sliding the stock pocket back under the player after it's installed...that's what I do. Fits PERFECT and doesn't require any special crap.

We got the stock radio when we bought the car. It wasnt installed. The hole for the radio and pouch thing is missing some of the support things. So when we tried to put it in, it went past the place it was supposed to go. It was a pain in the butt to get it out, we couldnt do it, so i was just like **** this, and ripped it out, the plastic holder broke off, so its just the pouch and not the part where you screw it on. does the cd player just snug itself in or does it slide in the thing? and will the broke plastic holder work, does it screw to the cd player.

First thing to learn: no matter how pissed you get, don't just rip on **** until it cooperates...you'll only cause yourself more trouble.

NOW you need to find a new plasting holder to bolt onto the back of the stereo...that's what holds the back up.

As stated, I used the stock pocket under the stereo...it fits snuggly under the stereo and holds the face of the stereo on place.

Hey stinger, does your pocket and stereo stick out a little bit. I did the same and the both dont fit flush like it oringally did. Do you close up pics of it? thanks
