Yeah... running wires from behind the stereo can be a pain... so, maybe since you'll need to pull the dash face and stereo out, maybe consider a new CD/MP3 player? I know, you didn't want to spend the extra money, but you'll have a better head unit, with the connections you need, and the ability to fit around 11 or so full CD's (ripping to MP3) onto one CD-R/RW.
Anyway, just a thought... but don't you just love new toys?
Edit: By the way, there is a SWEET JVC head unit on sale on Overstock for $217.99 - $20 coupon + $2.95 shipping = $200.94.
I can't find the actual coupon code... only links that put the code in for you, so you can click HERE then search for KD-LHX500 and you'll find it.
Here's some info on it:
