Default Need a new radio receiver. Suggestions...

So I just bought my Lexus about 2 weeks ago (2002 IS 300) and my CD player & cassette doesn't work. The cassette spits out after 10 minutes and the CD player says "error 1" now I wanted to keep the stock look to the car but I am now considering just replacing and putting a new one in. I have always bought Alpine and Pioneer decks but since the space is so big what can i put in instead? Any suggestions to keep it looking tasteful? Thanks.

I'm looking at the pioneer avh x5500bhs. It does everything but navi and you can find it for just under $400. Seems like the best bang for the buck IMO.

I think that error 1 is because the laser lens is dirty.. That was the problem with mine.. It is an pretty easy fix

GO AFTERMARKET!!! I have a pioneer nav in mine. it looks clean and I dont have any reliability issues. All stock CD players go bad.
