I would like to get some info about replacing the stock radio/CD-player in my 1996 PathFinder with a new one.

I want to get one that has a hole for audio-line-in. Then I can directly connect an MP3 player to the car stereo system. Unfortunately, the one that I found in Circuit City / BestBuy that has this capability are quite expensive. I saw a $99 model that has this capability in Target (audio line-in and a USB port). The price is right. But the mounting kit that Target is selling doesn't support 1996 PathFinder. This means: (1) If I go places like Circuit City and BestBuy that help people installing car radio, I will have to buy a very expensive car radio. (2) If I go place like Target that sells inexpensive car radio, I will have to find a way to mount it myself. And this leads to these questions:

My questions are:

- Does a car radio from one company require a specific mounting kit just for that car radio? Can I simply order a mounting kit that is specific for 1996 PathFinder and expect it to work with an average car radio?

- Is mounting car radio a relatively easy task as long as I follow instruction?

- Can you suggest a mounting kit for 1996 PathFinder that is good and comes with clear instruction?

Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

I think there was a large change over from 94 to 95 for there stereo stuff...
