Hi. Before taking the original radio out of the dash check that all your speakers are working.
You do this by turning on your original radio and pressing button 3 and 6
simultaneously so you will know that your speakers where working before
fooling around with you radio (headunit)
One question why would you want to replace the original radio??????

Is it's a navigation unit or has a screen on it? If it is you are going to need a double din which you can get here.

If you are just putting in a regular radio, I have an single din kit that I can sell you.

You are going to need a single din. I have one from when I took my Alpine out of my LS. The only thing is these kits are black so it's not going to match your interior. I will sell it to you for 10$ if you want it.

because it is a piece of $hit and always jams up, or maybe he wants navigation, or maybe he wants more volume, or maybe he wants better sound quality, or maybe he wants to hook up an IPod, or maybe he wants somthing to play DVD's, or Maybe he wants somthing with Bluetooth.

that is a single din headunit

go onto crutchfield and enter your car, and then the radio and it will give you the part number for the din adapter (since you're going from double to single din)
not sure i would go with a jvc though. perhaps they're better now but i've had trouble in the past. kenwood excellon for me.
