Doing some searching, I noticed some folks commenting on how their aftermarket headunit wouldn't work with the stock system because of the factory amp and such. Seemed to be mostly 2nd Gen folks posting, but just figured I'd ask the folks with my Gen.
I'm new to Explorers, so I'll toss in what I know...

Stereo seems to be pretty basic CD player unit. No multiple discs, no MP3 capability, nothing spectacular.
Has the factory DVD player option. Don't know if that changes anything.
----------------
If I've read correctly, it seems that the stock unit has no AUX input, so if I want to use my iPod (don't suggest the iTrip, please), I'd need to go aftermarket. A basic, cheap Pioneer unit was the plan. Something that'll play MP3 discs and let me use my iPod would be perfect. Would this be a plug-n-play operation, or do I need to expect wiring difficulties to make it all work?
Thanks for any help.
