Audio Systems: car stereo for 2002 Ford Escape, car sequence, crutchfield

Question
I'd like to update my factory stereo for something that plays CDs of all formats and includes an IPod interface. Any ideas?

Answer
Sure.  You should do it.

Go to www.crutchfield.com and walk through their "outfit my car" sequence which will lead you to recommendations of which units will fit and mount and work you your vehicle.  Crutchfield is the king of these kinds of details.  You don't have to buy from them, but if you do it comes with the installation instructions and wiring harness for installing by yourself.  They are good.
