Car CD\MP3 Player

MDE

I'm looking for an in-dash CD\MP3 player (under $150) for my newly running 91 Lincoln Continental. Anything will do, but better sound quality will always be nice. Also, would a cheapie portable MP3\CD player with a cassette adapter be decent enough quality (I'm only really looking for 160kbps MP3 quality sound)?
 
Marlin, that one looks pretty nice...
Forgot to mention that I wanted a detatchable face and it to blend in pretty well with the current interior (VERY conservative maroon vinyl\leather). Also, the stereo in there is completely stock. Any special considerations that I need to take into account, like the speaker connections (RCA\ normal wire)? I'm pretty sure the thing in there is just normal speaker wire.

If it is a stock Radio you will need a dash kit and a wireing harnes kit. The dash kit juts makes the new stereo fit in the dash.
The wiring harness plugs into the factory harness and has wires come off the new harness. Splice these wires into the ones of the deck, power to power, ground to ground, etc... And that is all.

RCA plugs are for if you are going to run a AMP. So don't worry about those unless you are going to run amps off that deck one day.
