This is what I did to replace the old unit in my old 2003 Prowler.
It's just a regular automotive stereo, but it has better sound, features and while this was done about 10 years ago, it worked great for local AM/FM radio but would connect to my iPod if no radio and it did have a decent CD player, for those that still have a collection of CD's like I do :) (well, I do have my entire CD collection on my iPod, so that's all I really need..)
I built the box to fit the big hole and hold the stereo and just spliced the wires for the power and speakers. You do have to wire the power wires together so you don't lose any presets you have while connected.. Just like in a vehicle.. Meaning, you have to wire in the power wire when you turn the ignition off, the radio still gets power to hold your presets.
Good luck! Mitch
