2005 Quest 3.5S - Replacing CD Player

I have the 2005 Nissan Quest 3.5 S with the factory installed CD Player. I am looking to replace it with an aftermarket CD Player that can play Mp3. Any recommendations? Also, how difficult is it to replace it? Would we need any special harness once I remove the existing factory CD player?

I tried crutchfield but wasn't able to find much information. It looks like many aftermarket systems can be installed - but it also warns me that we need to fabricate a harness for correct fit.

Any responses/advice is greatly appreciated

Easiest thing to do is go to a shop like Best Buy where they will charge you $50 to install the new CD player.

Or you can try these instructions: http://www.nissanhelp.com/diy/quest/projects/nissan_quest_radio_removal.htm

Replacing CD player

I didn't even bother replacing a CD player, I bought an ipod kit from ebay, took me about 2 hours to install it, the best investment I had ever done, it charges my ipod, plays it, and it uses the Satellite input behind the radio.. flawless...

this is the one I installed

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2004-2006-NISSAN-QUEST-iPOD-IN-AUX-CHARGE-LISTEN_W0QQitemZ150113043494QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Audio_Video?hash=item22f36f4426&_trksid=p4506.m20.l1116

it works fine, this one charges, and connects audio from the base to your stereo via your satellite plug, it's fairly easy to install, it took me 2 hours. I pulled power out of the socket inside the front compartment, under the CD player. Let me know if you need any other help.. jonatancastaneda@yahoo.com.
