I need advice about car stereos and must admit I know noting about them.

My pre-owned Toyota Camry came with an in-dash cassette/receiver which
also controls a cd-changer that sits in the trunk. There is a free
pocket just below this receiver. I want to get rid of that changer in
the trunk---it is too much hassle, and also keeps getting bumped by
luggage, grocery bags, and like.

I am considering following solutions:

(1) An in-dash cd player that would go into the free pocket and work
with the existing cassette receiver. It need not and probably should
not have its own radio, amplifier, etc. It could be one disc player or
a changer.

(2) An entirely new cd-cassette-radio player. This seems wasteful but
if it is the best option, or the cheapest or something like that, I
would consider it.

I would appreciate advice from those who know car stereos. Brands, as
well as the kind of stores I should go to (Chicago area). I don't need
MP3, satellite radio etc, just "cd cassette AM FM".

Thanks.
