I have a 2005 jeep wrangler and I want to get a new radio for it (the stock radio really sucks) but I don't have a clue on how to do this.im pretty sure the size it is supposed to be is 1.5 DIN but I can't find one anywhere!And I've also heard about adapters for it but will it still look... natural(maybe not the right word)?any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Also I was thinking of using this radio Dual - 25W x 4 In-Dash CD Deck with MP3 Playback and Detachable Faceplate - Black - CP5165 (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9175215&type=product&id=1218048338703)

Would this one work?

Look at Crutchfield: LCD TV, Car Audio, Home Theater, Speakers, Plasma TV (http://www.crutchfield.com) They may have some ideas. They usually have a table in their catalog by year.

Trim plates are usually available to adapt radios.

Then there are reverse wiring harnesses which are HIGHLY recommended to the install. It connects to the new radio and plugs into the factory harness.
