that's a pretty neat set up then. does it have any advantage in sound quality? this is the one I'm thinking of getting the reviews are good and it looks like it has everything I need. opinion?
I meant total budget for the whole sound system redo. I'm hoping not to spend max of 100 or for the deck. so far I've found this one and think it may go well. what do you think?

Have you thought about getting a FM transmitter?
It lets you broadcast music from your phone (ipod, CD player, etc.) To your radio.
I would encourage you to swap out the cdplayer- It can be plug and play with the right wire harness- You can do it yourself if you have an hor and watch a few videos-
This double-din cd player will fit your dash perfectly. The price is reasonable and the brand is reputable.
another option would be a FM modulator But your sound quality will diminished http://www.amazon.com/Scosche-FM-MOD02-Universal-Modulator-Satellite/dp/B001QBG614
For the extra 60 bucks above the fm modulator kit I wouldjust purchase a double din CD player with n AUX cord input
Thats my .02
Oh and quit pulling the buttons off of your Radio! lol
