I really would like to keep the stock look on my dash and found a source (other than a dealer) for stock audio receivers/ CD units. Unfortunately, they said that the '97 is NOT wired for an in-dash CD. Have any of you converted a newer stock unit into a '97. Yea, I know that this boring but I'm old and have too many other places to park my $$$.

Thanks,

yeah, i've done it, all you need is a simple adapter available at www.radiosandmore.com for like 30 bucks, and you're in bidness, i personally have a 2001 cd player in mine. It sounds so much better than the johnny brokeass tape deck that i used to have. check the classifieds, that's where i got mine, 65 bucks, including shipping and it was brand new. let me know if you need any more info

 

Woo-hoo, Blue. You must be one lucky guy. The b est deal I found was a '99 of questionable quality at a bone yard. I've been watchin the classifieds and the penny savers for a long time and there's not a thing. I'll check that link for the heck of it.
Thanks,

You can probably grab one off of ebay fairly cheap... just a thought.

Yea, rockpick, I've been looking. I had hoped to find one with cassette too, but they are few and far between. I'll keep lookin'.

if you get the dual media one, you'll have to trim some of your duct work behind your radio, because it is taller in the back
