i wouldn't mess with a stock unit at all. you can get cd, mp3, satellite, aux, rca's, hi power or low, etc for $50 - $200 at best buy or ebay. here's my very simple single cd, mp3. pioneer DEH-2800-MP. you can buy them used on ebay for $50. get the wiring adapter and dash kit for a nice clean painless install.

pic installed w/dash trim off. black surround is the dash kit.

 

i did the same thing swapped out the stock take for a stock cd player, i hate aftermarket crap in my truck, i think it looks tacky in most cases, not to mention i dont need some retard smashing out my trucks window to steal my cd player.

 

good call

 

I'm not big on aftermarket radios either but the Chrysler stockers are crap. I got 3, a tape deck and cd player, both cd players are slow to read the cds when either first starting the disc or when track searching.
I just bought a Kenwood here. http://www.hookedontronics.com/show_....jsp?cid=47074

What about the infinity systems sound (built in speaker amps) are they crap too? I think the stock cd system in my truck sounds great I also have a stand alone Sirius system I put in....

 

there only crap if you think there crap, if you like how it sounds then its good

and yah the infinity system is better but not great

 

I have no complaints about the stock am/fm/cassett/cd i put in mine. thing is great and plays all my cd's fine. Like i said before, i like the stock look inside the truck.

 

same here must be a ct thing, lol

 

To me it's only crap cause the ones I have don't work right [:@]. I'd keep it but it's sometimes it dosen't track. Heck I listen to AM talk radio so I 'm not changing for sound reasons.

 

We must get better speakers or something in CT. Must be the air actually. lol
