I bought a cheap pull-out stereo (and only since the doors were already
holed for speakers). I rigged the "radio blanking plate" so that it can snap
in when I pull out the stereo, so there is no visual evidence. I don't know
if you can even get pull-out stereos anymore -- they all seem to have
removable face plates, which aren't the same thing in my opinion.
Definitely don't get caught up in sound quality -- at freeway speed it's
pretty much full volume with the balance cranked to the left just to hear
the ball game, never mind music.
