I don't remember if this vehicle is the same as the 2000 models, but if so this guide should help you out:

If your factory radio has rounded corners, you're gonna need the CDK-636 dash kit from American International. If it has square corners, you'll need the CRB-630. Also you're gonna need a wiring harness to hook it up to the factory wiring. Should be the Metra 70-1817 or equivalent.

Oh hell yes. Minidiscs kick azz! I wish people would wisen up and convert to minidiscs rather than using those big CD's that get scratched up all the time :)

I really appreciate the help...and blacksaga i can't agree with you more. MD is so much nicer and what makes the whole deal even sweeter was that I got the Sony MD deck brand new for $73

DVD is even nicer :) Just too expensive in cars at the moment.
