Default Radio dilemma for my 99.5.....Help me out.

I need to get some CD tunes in my car. Now that my gf is moving to NYC<gasp>....That means a few hours on the turnpike driving..
Currently i have the concert system.
Here are my choices:
1st-Keep the current radio and get the OEM Cd changer and plug it in trunk @ $250

2nd-Buy the ConsertII from a 2001 TT @ $480 from dealer.(any problems with hook up?)

3ed-Buy the symphony stereo....How much? Is it plug and play? Do i need to change the dash?(much feed back on this please)

Your help is appreciated,
Thanks
DG

I was watching can't remember the channel, about some guys who where converting the ford explorer to dumb truck, and they were making those hydraulics to help move the garbage can...
and they put this cross on the arm and few of them had the t-shirt with the exactly the same symbol you have there... what is that ?

well answers to options:
1.) cd changer will be the easiest one to get and install

2.) ConcertII from TT will work needs rewiring to be done...

3.) symphony radio well getting parts from dealer will be expensive, and the radio is plug & play as far I know..
you will need to radio mouting , and HVAC unit but that is like 300-600 us if you find the parts...

number #1 is the best option

Get the changer. Call Shokan, less than $250.
