*sigh* We really should have a FAQ for this. :-)

First off, check your trunk.  On the very back of my trunk (the part
closest to the exhaust) just to the left of the latch there are cables for
a changer - the car is pre-wired.  If you have a '97 bose system, you need
a Panasonic.  If it's a '98, I'm not sure if they stuck with Panasonic.
But for 97 you mount it, plug it in, and you're good to go.
