Default How to put a diff cd player in the car?

How can I put a different (non-scion) cd player into the xA? Everywhere I take it they say they can't do it cause there's no kit to be able to make a regular sized cd player fit in the xA. Surely there must be some way for me to be able to have a non-scion cd player installed in my xA. Any help is appreciated. Let me know, thanks!

WTF would you want to spend that much money to pay some moron to screw your car up?

Buy the radio you want, buy the harness and the brackets that work with that stereo. after that its all plug and play.. unless you are adding EQ's and AMP's and stuff like that you shouldn't even have to run any wires.

I paid someone to install a stereo for me once and they screwed up my dashboard, the radio and my speakers.
