$600 at dealer
$250 on ebay for re-manufactured one.

03/04 cd players go out all the time.. so don't be too alarmed about it.. DIY instruction somewhere on this board.. search for it...

Those USB/MP3/IPOD things are $150.. i would get those..

Never seen anyone here using that box, but it looks pretty good. Install should be as simple as removing the factory stereo, plugging that thing in, and routing the wire from the glove box to the back of the stereo (flashlight and a wire hanger makes finding a path and feeding the wire pretty easy).

personally i would wire it to my armrest..
or i guess if you don't have a factory NAV.. you could put it into that secret spot..
i personally don't have the device.. buy it, try it out and let us know how it works.
