I know that a car stereo doesn't seem to fit into the digital home, but I'm looking for an aftermarket stereo for my 2003 Acura 3.2 TL.

My CD player has been on the fritz for a while. My tap deck just went out and I'm looking to replace the system with a low cost solution that includes an Aux input. So I can use it with both my Zune and my Nexus One. To be honest i'm not really concerned about having a tape deck at this point.

An initial perusal of Best Buy, I came across the Pioneer DEH-1200MP, but I'm not sure how well it would replace my system. I know I'm taking a step down from the Bose components that are there, but I'm trying to be mildly cost sensitive. I suppose if price was not option I could just go to Acura and have it replace.

My problem is that I want something that will fit in my deck nicely. Can anyone point me to a website that would assistm me in picking the right stereo?

Crutchfield.com. You will not need anywhere else. Calling them works, too.

I finally pulled the trigger on a Pioneer DEH-P6200BT. (http://www.crutchfield.com/s_130P6200BT/Pioneer-DEH-P6200BT.html?tp=5684)
I also sprung for one of their install cards as well. I did a quick search and saw that Best Buy's install would have been $10 cheaper but I figured I'd take Crutchfield up on their end to end experience.

I also got a free two-day deliver so I wasn't waiting forever.

I'm currently waiting on an installation appointment confirmation for this weekend.

Thanks doogald, it was an excellent suggestion.
