XXX Radio replacement - Corolla 2006 LE

I am looking to replace the radio in my '06 Corolla LE with a radio that has mp3 capabilities. I really don't care about having the 6 cd changer since I will be able to get more music via the mp3 format. Does anyone know of a replacement radio that has mp3 capabilities that will fit in the console where the current radio resides?

Thanks.

Search Crutchfield.com. The Corolla uses a double DIN size radio. Standard single DIN radios also fit, with mounting adapters. There aren't too many double DIN radios anymore, that aren't also navigation units, with screens, etc.

Thanks for the information

Decided to go with the JVC. Now to install it.

How much trouble was it to install?

Fairly simple with the wiring harness. It took me about a half hour. I'm quite sure the removal instructions are on here somewhere.

I have another question concerning the replacement stereo and radio. I am looking for a DVD/CD player replacement similar to the one at the link below. I was wondering if this would be an easy install and what the best brands would be for this type of player.

Thanks Again, as usual!
