Default 2Gen Audio Integration

Looking for "sound" advice...

I have a 2001 GS300 Standard system without NAV. (6 disc changer)

All my audi media is in mp3 format. Even my CDs are converted. I am not an Ipod fan (too much hype) but have a Zen player.

I am looking for a 2DIN head unit which has the capability of storing mp3 files or has a USB input to play music via a flash drive. (I'm sure there's something out there...right?)

I would like to maintain a stock appearance so I would seriously consider a headunit with a NAV.

My main desire is to play mp3s without having to change discs?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

You can wire up a input off the changer input on the factory unit to use your zen. I did it with mine for my ipod and zune player. Thats about as factory look as it gets. Otherwise there is a nice double din panel as well. I will let someone else chime in that has pics of it.

Comes through like a mp3 would from an aftermarket unit. Sounds good and clean.

I did it too. The sound is the same as the CD charger.
I plugged my iPhone on the stock audio system
