    I suggest saving and doing it all at once. The stock stereo will sound OKAY... but you have to buy a converter for it. You'd be better off to save and do it all later on.

    agreed with these other two dudes, they sound okay. My suggestion is do what you want. If it were me I would do it all at once so my wires weren't stripped and patched when you get ready for the aftermarket deck. Kenwood makes some good radios for cheap ($150 or so). Now that Eclipse is shutting down that is who i would go with, Kenwood or Pioneer Premier.
