Metra sells a harness for this vehicle. It may cost you 30 dollars, but it is well worth the money. Remove the radio from the car and carry it into your local stereo shop.

CB504 look at your address and that of Mr. Idiot, you're probably local to each other.

Howie, i would have to guess that he is in New Orleans, a bit too far to drive for a harness.  I am sure he can find it closer to home.

Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery for 10-15 minutes. Make sure you have any security codes for the radio first. Or you could disconnect the radio for 10-15 minutes and plug it back in. If that doesn't work, then your cd-changer is probably broken.

Remove the top cover and look for the disc that is not in a perfect vertical stack with the rest of the discs, using a small pick, move the disc back in line with the rest.  Reconnect the radio and let it initialize again.

   I have no idea where I got the idea you were trying to replace the unit.
