Adding an Ipod Jack

I have a 2006 Cobalt SS/SC and it does not have an ipod jack, I want to be able to connect my ipod.

So I am wondering what kind of PITA will it be to install a 2007 Radio or if there is a good aftermarket one that will fit in that space and keep all of the features or maybe an HD but NO GPS! that looks correct.

I do not have a huge gaping hole in my dash, I also do not plan on changing out any other part of the factory system.

the factory keyless entry should not be affected when u install a new radio. if u want to keep all the bells and whistles, it all depends on the harness use

Thank you sput,

I am going to take all of this into consideration, I am still quite unsure of what I want to do,

the only thing that is leaning me towards getting a new head unit is the HD capabilities,

I will swing by a couple of radio places in my area and get some hard core information on all of it and I will be making a decision.

Thank you all alot,
PD
