I've had several aftermarkets in the past. They're fine if you dont mind the odd window /door /dash /wiring harness repairs on occasion. And I had cheap ones.
The last was stolen on the curb of a nice middle class white collar neighborhood. They even cut the factory harness before the adapter.
Lesson learned..dont buy anything nice because someone will steal it. Just joined flickr. thanks for the tip

Lol.. just trying to be helpful..but it's a fact of life that thieves dont go for factory radios.. and I thought this was a useful idea
how to take the face of a stock .. radio/cassette and stick it over the face of a recessed din aftermarket, when parked.
That is.. just remove face of an old radio glue on ***** buttons if applicable and use velcro/whatever to hold it over the aftermarket goodie.

I think I still have my stock radio laying around. Might have to look into that.

If I were a thief, I would go for them... I know some factory stereos can bring $3-400 on ebay. Hahaha
