SR, go the route of the changer. That way, I didn't have any wires coming out of the stereo (for BT or 3.5mm connections) and it still looks stock. Plus, I can use the radio (which I don't do much anymore, curiously) and the CD changer is still usable when I pull the other disc out of it.

My Old Car:
2008 Cobalt SS
This was a fun car to own it had its headaches, but it was fun to drive. I've learned a lot and it was really the first car that I actually modded and raced.
It was all fun and games:
until this happened:
problem solved

Finally got the car up and running and then had more issues, that's when i decided to cut my losses.

its a pretty clean car, has recently been resprayed, has 140k, the interior isn't too shabby for a 95.
the only issues are that:
the fog lights don't work
the radiator shroud needs to be replaced in my eyes
it has an exhaust leak
CEL, dude says b/c of exhaust leak
air bag light is on
power antenna does rise anymore
issue with the a/c, dude says the condenser needs a seal or something
I drove the car with my friend who has a 1j sc3 and everything seemed to drive fine, no odd noises or anything, no issues with suspension. Let the car running for about 30mins+ and it didn't over heat or anything, i left him a deposit to take it off CL
