Default I want a new radio.

The one I have is still stock but I can't play CD's because it just shoves the disk out and says "Check CD". But it does it to new CD's also, so I know it is not from scratches. So all I can listen to is the FM channels which are annoying with all their commercials. I have a 2003 Monte Carlo LS, if anyone can show me a website on where to find new ones. Or any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

- Thanks

Are you looking for stock replacement or aftermarket one

A aftermarket one. Something I could hook a iPod or some auxiliary to and something that will play CD's also.

Start Here Car Stereos | Head Units | Car Receivers | Car CD Players

Search around for what you want to look for. Good Brands are Alpine, Pioneer, Kenwood among a few others

You will need a vehicle specified harness to put in an aftermarket, the ones for 00+ GM cars are kinda expensive.

You can also Search here but there prices are not always the best but there website is very easy to navigate and good place to see research and reviews. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-Qy2ZFFqSYEQ/

this is the ONLY item i'd recommend from kenwood, i hate all their ****, but their decks are alright, and this deck is the best bang for your buck for those simple features you desire.

Kenwood KDC-BT945U In-Dash CD/MP3/WMA Receiver - Sonic Electronix

I'd normaly recommend an alpine unit, but this is the simplest way because you can plug an ipod right into this unit, it has a great interface, and i hear it does great with sun glare, with all hardware, you'll probobly hit more like 300$

were you looking for something in a smaller budget? i mean any deck will do what you like, i'm just recommending you something, maybe point you in a direction.
