First off.. Long time reader, first time poster...

I have a 1997 Catera.. Owned it since 99'.. I have the stock tape player in the front, and a changer in the Trunk (Not to mention onboard computer).. Well, the changer died, and I would like to put in the Delco/Bose stock CD/Tape Head unit in.. I belive they started making the dual unit for the 1998 Cateras, so I am wondering if you fellas would know if it would fit into my car?

Here is a link to the Ebay Auction of the Stereo that I wish to purchase:

Also, how much of a deal would it be to replace the stereo? I assume that the black plastic piece that surrounds the stereo/HVAC controls (Where the seat heater, TCS, Hazard, Trunk and Gas Cap buttons are) could be removed with a gentle pry of a screwdriver.. If I have to rip apart the whole dash, I may think twice..

Thanks in advance..
